Mr. Gasket 3406 Phenolic Thermal Insulating Carburetor Spacer?

$40 bucks shipped on Amazon, ordered. If it only 1/2 works on fixing my issue, I'd be happy. Best that I can tell there are any negatives.... Will report back on how it works out. If anything I need practice taking of the Carb ha!
That should do the trick!

Not sure if it was mentioned earlier in this thread but a sticky 'exhaust gas heat riser valve' can also cause the intake manifold to get tooooo hot. Something to at least check.
