I'm finally getting around to installing the VDO coolant temp and oil pressure gauges I've had laying around for months.
I just finished installing the temp sensor using a brass Tee and a nipple so I could still use the factory sensor. Out of habit, I put teflon tape on all the joints, but I'm now wondering if this is a good idea ...if the sensor needs to use the fittings as a ground to the block. (it's a one-wire sensor)
So....what has everyone done? Teflon tape or No tape...
I'd really rather not have to worry about leaks, but I do want the gauge to work.
