Default Alum. Intake and oil filter adapter part installation ?'s

I'm installing some parts on my 428 FE and am following Steve Christ's book which has been excellent.

This is the first time doing this. I had someone do the shortblock and machine work.

I have two quick questions I want to double check.

When installing the intake he says to torque to 32-35...I have an aluminum intake..these numbers still valid?

Also, on the oil filter adapter he says to lightly coat the OFA side but to leave the block side of the gasket dry. Just wondering why you would do this.

Thanks in advance.
