Loctite for TB fasteners?

[Teller.John at orbital.com]

My GM manual requires loctite on all of the throttle body screws that could
fall into the intake should they vibrate loose.  The manual stated no
stronger than 262 (permanent red stuff, anything more is like fusing).  I
used 242 (blue, medium hold), since the screws had not been staked by GM in
the first place and had not vibrated loose in 14 years!

BTW, I'm working with a Rochester model 300 TBI.

Now you've got me worried, I going to be putting a TB together
any day now, and I didn't know I needed to loctite anything.

Are these port TB's? or TBI type TB's?

Which screws do I need to locktite? I know about the throttle
blade screws needing to be staked. Thanks...

P.S. almost done getting the harness in place.
