Well i go to start my car after the carb swap set timing everything is well but my 4309 return style regulator slowly drips droplets of gas out of the 3/8 npt fittings. What can i do about this?

i prefer teflon paste, that way it won't get into your fuel system and clog up like the tape potentially can do

well when i put it together i used one layer of tape and the gas turned it yellow i guess i could try 3 layers. What brand of paste do you recommend all the ones i seen say non hardening is that what i want?
all paste is non hardening, but loctite is usually what I buy, it's in a white tube and is typically used in industrial settings.
