Lyle,

Sorry I was in a hurry when I made my last comment.

But my thought was this: ... you've just ported the manifold and blended the bottom edge of the carb mounting surface so that the air from the carb turns around the radius toward the runners...

Now with the Spacer... If the holes in the spacer are smaller than the hole in the intrance to the intake then the bottom edge of the holes in the spacer might need to be raidused to help the air flow begin its turn...

Now, if the holes in the spacer are the exact same size as the hole in the intake... (except for the web of the spacer).... then no radius is needed.....

Hope I didn't confuse things too much...
