Can a guy get these spacers from Napa or Bumper to Bumper or would they even know what I'm talking about? I see there are several different sizes, which one should I get? 4 hole?

Napa or any auto parts store should have these spacers hanging up on the wall somewhere. Just go pick one up and they'll sell it to you. I'd match the type of spacer to the type of manifold you're using. If it's an open manifold, get an open spacer. If it's a 4 hole manifold, get a 4 hole spacer. Make sense?

Well, actually the individual runners help low end and the large plenum helps top end. I would suspect your manifold has individual holes and just measure the holes to get the right size. A better way would be to measure the throttle bores on the bottom of the carb and match thoses.

I haven't actually seen the intake that I'm buying cause I've done it over the phone. It's an Edelbrock #2105. I think it's a performer, can't remember.

Anyone know where I can go to decode the manifold numbers?

The #2105 manifold has a dual or divided manifold plane. I recommend that you go with the 1" 4 hole design spacer. Don't forget that you will need new longer studs to mount the carb.
