Dry Head Gasket? Copper Spray?????

Hello,
I'm ready to replace the head on my 59' GMC 270 inline 6. Have a new Felpro gasket, but no idea if it goes on dry or if I should use something like "Indian Head Gasket Sealer" or "Copper Spray"? No instructions with the gasket and no mention of a sealer in the old shop manual.
Also, do I put any type of sealant on the head bolts? Teflon Tape? RTV? Anti-Sieze?
Oh did I mention this is my 1st time changing a head gasket? Looks pretty simple on Gramps old truck, but I know the Devil is inthe details.
Head and block are very clean. Both looked flat when checked with my steel ruler. Cleaned up the carbon deposits in the head. Having it checked for cracks at the machine shop today. Am I missing anything?
Any advice appreciated. Thanks, -Steve
