Anyone use Teflon Tape on Choke Tube Threads?

Yep, I use the anti-seize on all my spark plugs regardless of whether or not they are going into an aluminum head or not. In 1989 I got a 1980 Ford Fairmont from my father with 100,000 miles on it and he did almost no maintenance to that car. I broke two ratchets and an extension bar trying to remove the spark plugs, along with using a couple of cans of liquid wrench, and I know for sure that that car did not have an aluminum head. I made quite a few trips to Sears to replace those wrenches under warranty and they were starting to wonder what I was doing. Of course, I was using a piece of black pipe as a cheater bar, and things just ended up breaking. Got that car to run for another 9 years and an additional 135,000 miles.

Now, I don't know how anti-seize will help prevent a choke tube from coming loose. On my SBE, I used a modified choke in it for several years for anything from waterfowling, to doves, to upland. That choke didn't come out of the gun for about 4 or 5 years. Wish I had used anti-seize on it to begin with because it was pretty tough to get it out.
