Does anybody know what it should be and should I use sealant on gasket or is gasket good enough? Its a holley fuel pump and it came with a gasket. I also have a felpro gasket. The holley gasket looks to be a better quality.

I just used the gasket. Just snug the bolts down.

Use the gasket that came with the pump. I wouldnt use any sealer, just gasket. Torque it until its tight....that point just before it strips or breakes the bolts.

don't use a torque wrench on those bolts. they don't need to be torqued because you'll probably break them...then you'll be up s...t creek.
