Using a Russell (670530) metric adapter -6AN to 16mm 1.5 to the stock TBI nut. This is where the leak is occurring. The stock nut has a new plastic washer and is sealing.

Only fittings you can use tape on are pipe threads.

only spot that gets washer seal is at tbi its self . and that's the adaptors that thread in to the tbi unit its self. then the hard lines from up the back of the motor to it are o-ring sealed .

rest of the fittings are o-ring seal . napa / autozone / others have the gas rated O-rings in the dorman / help type packs.
