It is a spacer, I believe so the air cleaner will clear distributor or valve covers.

i think they were used mostly to straighten the air out and get a better flow of air into the carb with less turbulance and better atomization of the fuel// the clearance factor was secondary

I have made several from small stain cans. Cut the bottom off and the rim on the helps keep the air cleaner centered and in place.
