When putting on my cleaned up intake manifolde (late 60's 318) I was not sure of what gaskets should get sealer put on them and which side? There are four gaskets the front and back are cork. Thanks again!

You shouldn't need any sealer on the intake gaskets which cover the ports. Some folks use an adhesive spray around the water ports only.
The cork gaskets at front and rear, I use RTV Ultra black at the corners (ends) of the cork gaskets where the manifold meets the head to block.

+3 and take the old roll pins out of the front and back sealing edge of the block. They are simple ones that pull out with a pair of diagonal cutters or Dikes. The pins help to hold the gasket from slipping and line up the intake properly.
