Question Heater Box Restoration

I am in the middle of restoring my heater box.

One question I have is about the gaskets used.

Does anyone have pictures of the different gaskets and where they were installed?

I think if you buy one of the kits, it will show where the gaskets are used. The kit that I have seen is for GM A bodies and shows where each gasket goes

When I redid my 72's heater box, I pretty much used 3M strip calk only, as well as with the AC box. Mine still had intact foam around the evap, so I left that alone. When one strip of the stuff wasnt enough, I braided two together for a thicker rope. The factory used a similar stuff.
