Shouldn't need an adapter...I was running a Carter SuperQuad AFB (aftermarket) carb (same as an Eddy) on my 273 iron intake while I was rebuilding my '67 AFB....ran great!..no adapter.
Also, someone has played with that intake...should have 4 holes, not open plenum...that may be your problem....should look like this......
