The 4 hole will serve you better in your application. Got a part number for yours?
If the spacer's holes match the carb on the carb side, and also match the intake on the intake side, you're good to go.

And get rid of that piece of rubber line, before it burns your car to the ground. That's a death trap.
No no, asking for sealing reasons; not power. Read again.

See, now I figured this was the case with it being OK sealing up, but since the intake has the spreadbore opening (even though it's touted as being both spread & square), the squarebore spacers (open or 4-hole) weren't sealing right.
Then someone on one of the FB groups finally had the answer, not sure why this is such an unknown part!

Looks like the secondaries are slightly larger. Once I get the carb back from the rebuild I'll line the spacer up under it and see if the holes line up with the bores!
Re: Edelbrock Performer 2101 intake with 1403 carb, what spacer?
It will match the base of your carburetor. However, you will have to check where the secondaries bulge out on the intake manifold to make sure the spacer covers.
You will have a vacuum leak there if it doesn't, and don't rely on the gasket to try to seal the gap.
