Default Install New Water Pump - A Few Easy Questions

My new water pump should arrive Monday and I want to be ready.
  • Is there a bolt tightening pattern that is recommended?
  • Does anyone know if there are torque specifications for the bolts? There are two sizes of bolts, would the torque be the same for all bolts?
  • Finally, can anyone recommend a gasket sealer?

This is for a 78 Tran Am with a Pontiac 400 and an 11 bolt water pump.

Thanks for your help,
