I need to put in a new oil pressure sender, I though I remember that it wouldn't work properly if you used teflon tape on the threads. Is this true? Do you install this dry?

The sender needs to ground, so both sealant and tape cause problems. Worse, since they're tapered threads that slick Teflon tape makes it REAL easy to overtighten the fitting so much that you strip the threads. And there's no oversized sender, so it's not feasible to re-tap the threads the next larger size. More in magnesium cases, but still a serious bummer.
