Let's make sure you have it set up correctly:
First you have the plane body. That is the casting to which the handle (called a "tote") is screwed to.
Then you have the "frog", which you call the "ramp". This can be set back to where the bevel is behind the opening ("mouth") because the bevel on the blade (properly called "iron") will allow more clearance. Loosen the two screws in the frog that attach the frog to the body. Set the iron (blade) on it with the bevel side down and adjuster disk in the slot on the blade, and move it back until you have about 1/32 or more mouth clearance between the top of the blade and the front of the mouth with the blade shoved through the mouth. Remove blade and tighten frog screws.
Install the chip breaker. Screw is on the bottom (beveled side) and chip breaker is on top (flat side). Set front edge of chip breaker about 1/32" back from the cutting edge of the iron.
Put chip breaker/iron assembly on the frog with the chip breaker screw head in the recess on the frog. Make sure the tang on the depth adjustment screw is going into the slot on the chip breaker, and the lateral adjuster disk is inside the wide slot on the iron.
On top of this is the "cap iron", which holds it all secure and tight when in use. Lift the spring lever up and slide it full forward onto the chip breaker. Tighten screw until it just barely touches the cap iron, and then push the lever down.
My guess is that you have the frog too far forward, the blade sitting on top of the lateral adjustment disk, or the chip breaker sitting on top of the depth adjuster tang. I have used thicker irons (blades) than the original and have still had plenty of clearance but all have had a 25 degree primary bevel.
With a primary bevel of 25 degrees a much thicker iron can be used in any adjustable frog Stanley plane because the thickness of the blade going in front of the back edge of the mouth is no different than a stock iron. If you have a radical primary bevel (like 35+ degrees), you may be pushing the blade too far forward, which also may be your problem. Stanley/Bailey panes are designed for a 25 degree primary angle.
Hope this helps
