Re: Oil Sending Unit

["jtrealty@xxxx " <jtrealty@xxxx>]

I also recently put Marty's oil pressure sender into my car. I used 
teflon tape. Although it might seem like you are insulating the unit 
from ground in the process of tightening up the threads it will make 
contact unless you wrapped it way too thick. Be sure not to cover the 
end with the tape or it will plug up the hole in the end and if you 
remove it get all of the shards of tape out of the threads. This is 
the biggest reason not to use the tape, if you take things apart the 
pieces of tape can get caught in the system. On hydralic systems I
use 
a special dope that is an anaerobic sealer. BTW the sender unit is 
great, the gauge actually reads as you idle and increases as the
rpm's 
increase.
