'84 Cyl Head Sensor Install - dry ?

SC conversion to 3.2SS w/ '84 Carrera heads.
With my 80 SC, I didn't have a Cyl Head Sensor to reference. Installing one now.

Question: is it installed dry ?
(the sensor "may" have a little dry something on the threads out of the box)
Or maybe use some nickel based anti-seize ?

Dry. Be super careful not to get it cross-threaded.

One other thing...they can shear off if you strong arm them too much , so just good and snug.

Yep, listen to the expert. There is no need to tighten them up more than snug. The next person to have to remove it will thank you.
