    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

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.
 
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

You'l probably be able to find more accurate application specifics on either of those sites.
