I got a brand new set of aluminum heads for my 302.. I bought the emissions plugs for the end of the heads.. they are steel.. do I need to to put anything on the threads?

Anti- Seize compound.

Ok.. I was thinking of a thread sealant. But wasn't for sure

This^.
But it doesn't really matter. Can you ever picture a situation where you want to take them back OUT?

There could be some dissimilar metals type corrosion going on there, but it will take many years for it to be an issue. Put a little anti-seize on them. Throw the German Torque on them. They will be fine.

Ones I bought directly from Ford in the past had a reddish/orangeish sealant on them.

Loc-Tite?

I got these from summit and they don't have anything. So I guess they are getting the good ole blue loc-tite
