    That fitting is a pipe thread so yes, tapered. Tighten these well. I used Loctite thread sealant on my fluid connections. Some use thread tape but I chose a different path and it has worked well. I also did a test fit on almost every assembly just to make sure I understood how it all went together and that everything seemed right.

    As mentioned before, be careful with the posts. Fragile little guys... ask me how i know...

    x2 on this. I've used teflon tape on hundreds of gas system NPT joints, but stepped up to the ARP thread sealer for this engine.

    Good advice. I've use a Permatex high temp/high tack (not sure of the product name). I had a great success with this product on past resto projects.

    So for the unused position on the Coyote harness for the oil sender and low oil sender, is it OK to trim these off of the hardness to clean in up (seems silly to leave these dangling) ?

    Don't see why not. Cut off the connector & tape the wires into the harness.
