Use either Loctite 518, which comes in a red tube, or Permatex 51813, which comes in a blue tube. They are the same formula. At one time Loctite and Permatex were separate, then they were owned by the same company, but now I notice they are separate brands again. I suspect Loctite makes the sealant for Permatex, because the Loctite brand always seems to be cheaper.
Regardless, the red anerobic sealant is the one specified by Saab.
I also agree with JerryC on the application method. I spread a thin film on the flange, rather than hoping there are no gaps when the bead squishes. Never had a problem on pans or timing covers when I applied it that way.
