My car came with the spacers installed as described, all the cars that I saw at that time (3100 series and later S/C's with medium risers also had the spacers).
I am not sure about 3200 and 3300 cars with 428's and some 427's. I ran without them on my tunnel port with single plane dual 4 manifold because of clearance issues with the hood. They seemed OK with adjustment of the float level, but I always ran 4-4.5 flats low anyway to avoid stumble and flooding during acceleration, braking and cornering.
