Few Tune-Up Parts

1977 Dodge Aspen 2 Door Coupe 225 3.7 Hello today I noticed that there is a small leak at the corner of my valve cover, I assume it is time to replace the valve cover gasket. So I am trying to find and locate a rubber gasket instead of a cork gasket, I assume the rubber one would be better then the cork?? The gasket needs replaced either way. I plan on using Rotella T4 10W30 for the oil but what is the best filter to use?? I am also wanting to replace the plugs and the wire set and cap. Since the valve cover will already be off I am also planning on adjusting the valve lash as well, It makes sense to do it before reinstalling the valve cover and new gasket. I believe I have the procedure for the valve lash wrote down somewhere, I assume this is to be done with the engine running at low idle and engine hot. Also what is the Mopar blue paint number?? Can you get the paint in a aerosol spray can still?? I would like to paint the valve cover since it will already be off. I will also change the PCV valve and grommet. The only gasket number I have been able to find is Fel-Pro VS12680R is this the correct part number?? Any suggestions and part numbers would be appreciated. Thank You
