This is a wedge spacer. They sometimes are called "marine spacers" since boats have their engines installed "level" like the Pantera does and MOST intake manifolds are made anticipating that the engine is installed on an angle and cut the carb pad on an angle to level the carb. Got that?
It is most desirable to install the carb level but not absolutely mandatory.
