Have you gotten your truck going, being slow to read the thread I was wondering. I'll offer my opinion, yes the spacer left off is also an insullator so the fuel in the carb does get to hot. As to why it wouldn't start, the spacer would also have been the gasket, any leakage below the throttle is considered an intake leak. Pulling air instead of fuel. For what its worth.
