Carb question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Howdy all,
my "new" 70 K20 has a 350 with an edelbrock intake and a Carter AFB on it. The intake is the spreadbore design like a stock 4bbl chevy intake, and the carb is bolted directly to it. My questions are:
1- Isn't there supposed to be an adapter plate under that type of carb when used on the spreadbore intake?
2- would using a spacer plate under the carb give me any improvements?
I'm overhauling the carb right now (cruddy gas tank from sitting) and looking to see what else I can do while its out. Thanks!
CLT.
