My 2nd sealing question, which water-pump bolts on a '69 340 need thread sealer

Nope, the upper bolt hole goes through into the air. The lower water pump bolt holes go into the timing chain cavity. Those need to be sealed. Just about any good quality sealer will work there. I personally like using CopperCoat sealer on all those bolts.
Goes into air above the lifter galley. Seal them all except the one at 12 oclock
