Ditto.  I found the tall brass nuts on one of those "Help!" racks, in a
package of 3 nuts and 3 studs.  Apparently some Chevy V8s use them on the
exhaust manifold to headpipe joint.

But I prefer the original steel nuts, with a smear of copper-based
anti-seize on the threads (in place of the original copper plate).
