Default Firewall installation

What are people using to re-install the firewall to the birdcage? The original sealant that I removed felt like black tar roof sealant. The stuff used on tin roofing. I was going to use Evercoat vette panel adhesive for the floorboard to firewall (as well as front clip to firewall).

Does anybody know if a 74 firewall will fit a 81 birdcage? Also where do I find some instructions on how to install a c3 firewall?
