David,
The plastic spacer is there to keep the fuel from boiling in the carb during heat soak after shutdown. The engine will be hard to start when hot without the spacer. There are no vacuum connections or any other connections on the spacer. It is there strictly as an insulator.

The PCV u - tube connects to the front and rear of the intake and to the PCV valve in the passenger side valve cover. The oil filler cap is a plain vented one. Be sure to get a PCV valve that is correct for your application, the wrong one might act like a vacuum leak and give you problems with power brakes, hesitation etc. I think Mr. Fomoco has some originals left in stock.

Hope this helps,

Royce Peterson
