If you want to prime it, they also have high-temp primer.
A clean surface is key, and I recently primed the parts you mentioned with high-temp primer before painting- I think it was VHT brand primer.
Before that, my uncle had painted my engine & parts back in the early 1990's with just Chevy blue engine enamel. He didn't use any primer at all, and it took me some time to bead blast it all off. It stuck on there very well, and his rattle-paint was nothing as well-reputed as the Eastwood brand.
What does the can/instructions say about priming? Whatever that says is what I would do.
