For the FI type 3s you need a special gasket consisting of a bakelite insulator 
between 2 paper gaskets. I have these if you need them. 

You will also find that the gasket set probably won't include the right oil 
cooler seals either, if your type engine is a late one (70-3) with the dual oil 
control valves in the case. I have a FAQ on choosing the right gasket if you're 
not absolutely certain about what goes in there.
