Default Need Help Carb Gaskets

I am replacing the base gasket on my Holley. And I can't seem to get the same answer on this one...Do I use a base gasket with 4 holes or with one big one(the open square type)? And given the answer to that why? What happens if you use the
"wrong" one?

match the gasket to the intake manifold or spacer.

My intake has a divider down the center. The divider is not flush with top of the intake to carb base. The two gaskets avail are a 4 hole and an open hole such as for a single plane manifold. Neither fits the intake with a divider down the middle that is not flush with the rest of the top of the carb to intake surface. FYI I am using an Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap for a Vortec SBC.

BH,
The four hole gaskets are for use with the Q-jet four hole manifolds like this one.
Use the open gasket with your manifold.
