Dear Packard owners,

I have a 1950 Packard Deluxe Club, 23rd series. My question is related to the manifold stud problems. I removed the manifold assembly because it was leaking due to crack in the intake. Anyway, after draining the coolant from the radiator some additional coolant flowed out from the back manifold studs, not sure which ones, that came out as I tried to remove the nut. So here's my question: should I use some type sealant on the threads of all the studs which I am replacing, or just anti-seize? I'd appreciate recommendations. Thanks.
