        He said he didn't want to sell the adapter alone. I asked when he was active here.

          That's what I'm going to do. The quarter inch thread adapter is perfect. You only have to drill the hole to 7/16 first. By far the easiest route if you have the tools. I didn't like that eBay part, it only had one barb.

            Why they call it quarter inch, when it's really around a half inch, is beyond me. Makes it really confusing

              I know what you mean. I was building a boost leak tester today with the same idea.

                NPT = National Pipe Thread. So it's a threaded connector sized to fit a 1/4" pipe's inner diameter. Mic the inside of the fitting, and you'll see. It's something close to 1/4"

                    Dickmeyer automotive engineering. I know he just had back surgery. Maybe he's out of the shop for a bit.

                      I have that FPR from Matt and it is a quality piece. Here are the pics I took of it after I got it and installed it. http://imgur.com/a/eFIqP

                        That intake manifold is sensory overload. Is it powder coat?

                          Yes. A friend of mine knows a guy that works at a powder coat place and he did the intake and valve cover for $40 .

                          *edit* I should specify that the red is PC but the gold is paint that I put over it. The paint probably won't last long but that's OK.
