They are brass to prevent them from corroding to the studs. If you replace
them with steel be sure to use an anti-seize compound.

Subject: Brass Nuts ....
.... and this has nothing to do with brass monkeys!
Does anybody know why the manifold nuts on my '72 Midget are brass or if
they really should remain that way? Could it have anything to do with the
rate of expansion due to the heat?
Thanks
