Intake manifold gasket sealer?

[93ragtop]

I assembled my 5.9 magnum with the intake gaskets dry. I used form a gasket on the ends and across the China wall.
Should I have used any sealer on the gasket itself or is dry OK?
The motor is still on the engine stand...... So now would be better then latter.
Fwiw I have the 7577 edelbrock intake and new heads.
Thanks for your help.

I installed mine dry and just used a dab of sealer on spots to hold it in place

Thank you for replying!! I thought it was dry, but wanted to make sure.

I just replaced my intake gasket yesterday and used the Edelbrock gaskets + Eddie Gasgacinch as recommended. It cured a vacuum leak I chased for a few years .
