There's no cut in stone answer on this , but in general that kind of Carb spacer helps to dampen reversion pulses when your intakes Plenum is short on volume to do the dampening.

In a motor like yours with a proper sized/ tuned Intake runner lenght the normal reversion pulse that takes place in a NA motor will stop and reverse at a distance of about 1 1\2" beyond the end of the runner, not up closer to the bottom of the Carb where it can push air and fuel back up out of the Carbs Venturi.
