Can you send a picture of your set up... you mention a black spacer (I have one) then a phenolic spacer (thinking this is another term for that black spacer..) then an adapter plate for the carb (I believe this is the metal peice that rotates the carb 90 degrees. If you think that a gasket should be used, you can get a sheet of paper gasket at the local parts store, and cut your own, using the two surfaces you want to gasket as a template. I would use the thinest gasket paper you can find for this.
as for the shroud, I beleive that you are talking about the raised collar on the manifold, that is actually smaller than inside diameter of the spacer. the spacer sitting on the manifold, then bolted down (the carb actually does this when you tighten the bolts...) creates the airtight seal, not the reaised collar....
