Just had my carburator rebuilt. what should the
manifold to carb gasket look like? I have one with
3 holes & one with 1 hole. Or does it matter.

Lot depends on the hole of the intake.
Always check that the throttle plates clear them. Also thicker gaskets
might aid in keeping the carb cooler.

I used the four hole Mr. Gasket heat dissipater that Rob mentioned. I don't know how much it helps but, in southern Arizona anything to keep the carb cooler is a good thing.
