I've been fighting with my q-jet on my 71 for a while now, and if I wasnt doing the swap I'd take that thing off and light it on fire. After 2 rebuilds, and $500 later its still a pile of caca.
The thick gasket should help some. You could use one of those wood spacers also.
What alternator bracket are you using?

Nice TA. Those Q Jets are one of the best carbs ever made for a street car. I own several and I'm surprised about the boiling comment. I had that issue with the crappy Edelbrock carb I threw in the trash.
