Small Block Water Pump - Bolt Locations ?
Pretty much the same on all small block Mopar engines, and though this pic shows the ones to seal because they go into the water jacket, some of the others on the timing cover go into the block where oil is.
It's not pressurized oil, but can still seep around bolts if they are not put in with sealer.
If you end up having the timing cover off it's easy to see which ones, but otherwise it's not a bad idea to RTV the threads on all of the bolts just in case.
Sealer on the bolt threads that do not go into the block somewhere won't matter.
