Today everybody knows an adapter between a squarebore carb and a spreadbore intake kills power.

Installing a square bore carb on a factory spread bore intake with an ADAPTER doesn't correct the HUGE miss-match between the two components. The miss-match causes the air to have to make several "bends" to enter the plenum areas, which will kill power.
To be perfectly honest, I'm surprised the numbers are as close as they are......FWIW......Cliff

as i said in my post#8
the black thingee is spacer not an adapter
lets get the controversial smoke blowers to agree that this is not ADAPTER
this is a 3/8"tall spacer that was mounted between the edelbrock carb and iron intake , and also FYI Edelbrock carbs baseplate have dual bolt holes as i am taking extra time to post pic here to demonstrate that there is no ADAPTER used, spacer only with cast iron intake and sealing plate with aluminum intake!
