BJ8 - Intake Manifold, carb, gaskets sequence - Info needed

I just don't appear to have enough gaskets and parts catalogs only list a total of 4 per Intake Manifold to Carb mounting.

I believe this is a sequence and maybe not correct?:
1. Intake manifold to black plastic insulating block - fiber gasket.
2. Insulating block to metal carb heatshield - stamped/perforated metal gasket.
3. Carb heatskield to carb? - I'm out of gaskets.

Pictures of gaskets I have below. Something doesn't seem right and it was 1976 when I last overhauled my engine. Shop manual and parts catalogs don't seem to have any sequences(s).
Thanks,

I just found out late yesterday that the newer gasket sets leave out a couple of gaskets. The last time I overhauled my engine was 1977 so most likely the key brain cell in the recall area of my brain has long since departed. Below is sequence for a BJ8 engine with HD8 carbs.

2-Metal embossed gaskets(go on Intake manifold first-shiny/metal side up).
2-Black plastic spacers next.(my car is a BJ8).
2-black fiber gaskets on top of spacers(one for each spacer)
1-metal carb heatshield(large metal shield)
2-black fiber gaskets
2-carbs
