I'm assuming it's a spreadbore intake if so just use the flat adapter that looks like a thin metal base gasket: a gasket, then the metal plate, then another gasket, then the carb. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

"Spacers" are square flange & are made of wood or more commonly the black plastic phenolic that come in various heights such as 1" & do come in open or 4 hole versions both of which affect an eng differently but are square flange only & are for square flange carbs/intakes(I dont think I've seen one for a speadbore intake/carb). Spacers are for heat insulation and affecting the mixture column lenght. A stock 4 hole iron intake could benefit with a 4 hole spacer. A single plane intake would most likely(but not always) use an open spacer(of the right thickness)(usually depends on hood clearance) which is a different piece than an open "adapter" which is just a thin flat metal plate. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
