| Gaskets |

Fel Pro makes both rubber and cork valve cover gaskets. Who ever sold you the gaskets you own should be able to sell the other kind too. I like the cork better personally.
Fel pro intake gskets are a molded rubberized substance that shrivels up and shrinks over time. I've had terrible luck with them, you might think about using Victor Reinz intake gaskets. They are asbestos over steel and don't deform over time like the Fel Pro's.
You should glue the oil pan gasket to the oil pan using Hi - Tack glue. Put a small bead of silicone at the front cover parting line and at the parting lines on the rear main cap. Small! You don't want excess silicone floating around in the oil system.
The intake gaskets should be glued to the head so they can't slip while tightening the manifold. The cork end pieces should be glued to the block, some have a peel and stick tape on them that works great. A small bead of silicone needs to be applied at the corners where the intake meets the block / head junction. Start all the bolts, install the distributor and torque the intake.
