I also emailed Dave West last night about his original 440 4bbl shaker car and got this response: "....my shaker baseplate is the original and did not have the feet...and the only other 4 bbl shaker car that i know off never had feet either."

While it is true they were for stability I would not go so far as to say say they were to keep the scoop from spinning. If your base is original does it by chance have a strip of orange paint on it by the carb neck? 440-4v base is same base as a 71 340 base less the feet brackets. That is why there were separate part numbers for each of those bases.
