I wouldn't use tape for fear of plugging something. If you need to use a sealant use a paste sealant like PST from Loctite or ARP thread sealer. Only use just what you need in just the right place. Originals used JIC's on most fittings but they are big (-12) and step down to a 5/8 ID rubber hose so you have something manageable for size and routing. It was aircraft sourced I believe.
