So grooved side faces down then, with a thin gasket on each side. I want to get this right the first time!

Watch the fit of the "aftermarket" spacers. I had to bore mine on the back two as they were 0.060" undersize for the carb and manifold and 0.030" offset from center. I don't know how much of a performance issue this would have been but I like things to fit.

I was told that the grooved side should be facing up or towards the carb. Which seems wrong to me.
