The RTV Blue is the best for the corners of the intake. I assume that is what you are asking, as your use of the English language leaves a lot to be desired. In addition, I don't know of a 308 engine that Ford produced in the 80's. Perhaps you mean a 302?

I use the black high temp permatex and I don't use the supllied cork or rubber gaskets for the ends. Just run a 3/8 bead of silicone in place of the gaskets and you will have a lot better luck keeping it from leaking.
