Getting ready to install my rebuilt quadrajet on my '69 350 engine. When I first pulled it off, there were three things between the carb and manifold. On the bottom was a thin gasket, followed by the heat shield in the middle, followed by the thick carb gasket on top. Is this the correct order and do I need both thick and thin gaskets? I always thought it took the heat shield and the thick gasket. Just wondering if someone added an extra gasket at some point.

Mine took the metal heat sheild first and then the carb gasket, then the carb.
