Anti seize on carb bolts?

[Mike]

1.) Do they need it?

2.) Should it be copper based, or will regular work?

On the bodies? They don't need it. On the intake flange? Silver would be fine, Regular grade is good for 1800F

If you are talking about the 'intake bolts', that bolt the carb rack onto the head, then yes you can put some 'anti-seize' on the thread, I always do. If you're talking about the carb float bowls then no, there is no need. My money is one the intake bolts, and regular will work just fine.

Great, thank you both!

As far as the silver/copper issue, I was told that you use the copper if you are putting steel screws into aluminum.

Use the silver everywhere else.

The 'silver'(regular) "Never Seez" contains copper, and I don't think any contain silver :P
