34PICT-3 carbs which came on cars originally equipped with alternators had a modified accelerator pump linkage that provided the clearance you're missing. The most elegant solution would be to find such a carb in cheap "core" condition and transfer its linkage to yours. It's also possible to jack the carb higher with a spacer as you're contemplating (be wary of throttle cable misalignment problems and the hood hitting the aircleaner if you go this route) or you can simply grind/file a notch in the alternator housing and/or bend the linkage slightly to one side...
