Original assemblies '71-'75 used no sealant, just the paper gasket. Use as
much sealant as you like- most leaked no matter what was done. Often the
tiny studs holding the sensor retainer plates broke as well, causing more
leaks. The leaking caused rotting of the right side of the valence panel, as
well as the front crossmember supporting the radiator. Neither are cheap nor
easy to replace.
The true fix is to replace the right radiator tank with a custom two-part
tank with no sensor holes or internal dividers, or better- a bigger aluminum
radiator like Fluidyne that uses pipe-thread sensors that seal with teflon
pipe tape. Good luck- J Deryke
