I rarely use the paper gaskets with the valley pan.

Years ago I used “high tack”.
More recently I’ve used a very thin smear of black “the right stuff”.
I’ve run them dry as well....... usually when I know there will be manifold swaps involved.

Until I had things more sorted out, I’d remove the pcv valve and use 2 breathers, and lock out the distributor...... start out at like 32deg.
