Re: [Amc-list] Before and After engine compartment

I know about cautions of teflon tape on fuel lines, but I have been using Permatex teflon liquid thread sealant on various engine fasteners including those head bolts intruding into a water jacket.  The uses stated on the bottle include fuel line fittings and brake line fittings.  Those sound like reasonable applications to me and I'm considering using the sealant on the brake line fittings of the 65 Rambler.  I'll be splicing some brake lines in connection with replacing the master cylinder.
