Application is a '78 Gremlin. Adding a rally pack oil pressure sensor, while keeping the original oil pressure idiot light switch. I know both rely on grounding to the block/head to work. What can I use as a thread sealant that won't impede the grounding path?

I though pipe threads will narrow the deeper you go. So no thread sealer is needed. When removing the fitting and oil pressure sender on my 70 390, no thread sealer was used.

I put a little oil on the threads so they do not gall when tightened.
