What type bolts to use on aluminum intake? Use anti seize also?

I bought this intake for my L31

I also bought the edelbrock manifold bolt kit but for the other bolts like the distributor mount and others.. what type bolts should be used? And is anti-seize recommended?

Stainless steel or zinc plated works well. A dab of anti-seize (the aluminum type) wouldn't hurt.

That's exactly what I use. It's aluminum-based and will prevent galling between steel fasteners and aluminum components.

Permatex #2 is just like anti seize and will keep those bolts from leaking.
