None on the inside box ( the dash mat becomes the gasket between the inner box and the firewall). The engine side blower housing had a bead of neoprene or vinyl plastisol sealer applied in its groove before it was attached to the firewall.

Thanks,

That was where I meant, in the engine compartment.
Any suggestions for products that are available today?

Almost any Black Body Sealer in a tube applied using a caulking gun. Ask at the Local Paint suppliers

I planned on using the 3m strip caulk when I put mine back on
