we would need a picture of the sink, because your difficulty is NOT normal for any sink of this type.

That particular faucet is a PricePfister wide spread, but you said it had "clear crystal handles". If this is the faucet you were referring to in the original posting, the valves a NOT 'shot' and are easy to repair to"like new" condition.
The faucet "hole" should be the same distance as the other two, because that is the way they made sinks back then. At that time the faucets did NOT have "hoses" so all three openings HAD to be exactly in a line. But even if it is offset because of the drain overflow, your "problem" is that the spout has "overhang" at the rear. Not many new faucets use that design so you have the choice of many new ones, including all current Pfister faucets.
