I have a 1978 400 bb, does anyone know which exhaust manifold studs go into the water jacket and what is best to seal them?

all so put anti-seize compound on the stud threads. tighten the nut to 70-80% of full torque and put 5-6 full heat cycles then take to full torque. but if it leeks be fore that go to full torque.

never sieze is the only way to go, then after a good warm up re torque the bolts.
