I think Fastenal or Grangers would be good places to look.

I think you can get graphite-based anti-sieze made by Permatex from Autozone or other auto parts stores. It shouldn't be that hard to find.

I use Permatex "Never Seize". You can get it from most any auto supply or industrial supply.
I don't think it has graphite, but it works for everything I use it for.
I prefer teflon tape or paste for pipe threads though. Just my preference, I think Never Seize will work for many applications using pipe thread.
A highly refined blend of aluminum, copper and graphite lubricants. Use during assembly to prevent galling, corrosion and seizing due to weathering or chemicals. Anti-Seize assures easier disassembly. Temperature range: -60°F to 1600°F (-51°C to 871°C). Salt, corrosion and moisture resistant – ideal for marine use. Non-aerosol version meets Mil Spec #907E.

Well there you go, it does have graphite.
I remember my boss from the old days when we were designing/building/retrofitting heavy equipment. We used it on a lot of mechanical joints. He could walk in the shop and 2 minutes later be covered in it, hands/face/shirt. Some of the mechanics could use it all day and never have to wipe their hands.
The Loctite Graphite 50 is what Jake from Classic Instruments suggested I use. Here is the problem; my gauge is showing about 20 degrees higher than the actual water temperature. The sender has the correct pipe size without having to use a bushing. CI sent me another sender to change out. I currently used regular anti sieze, but Jake said to use the 50, since it will have better electrical conductivity than the regular.
The electrical contact between the sender and block is not your issue if it's pipe thread.
