Don't know if this would matter, but the threads on today's bolts are microscopically thinner than they were back in the day. Way to save some material and money, I guess.
How I found out was I was working on a 1940 JD B and we were replacing the manifold. I think it's just one bolt hole that connects straight into the coolant chamber on the block, but we used a copper washer, modern bolts & every type of thread compound known to man and after draining the thing 12 times because of leaks I called a JD specific restoration company and had a talk with them. There explanation was modern bolt threads are thinner and it is almost impossible to seal up correctly with out an old style bolt. A few bucks and days later and it sealed up like a charm and never had a problem since then. Just my 2 cents.
