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?

I used a grease gun hose. Someone (maybe Krusty ) gave me the idea on here. Works like a charm. I then used a conduit strap to hold the sender down. Looks ok. Better than the hose clamp thing I think. Total cost was like 12 bucks vs the 40-50 for the VDO one.
