Installing an electric fuel pressure sensor; bought the -4an to 1/8" npt fitting and turns out the end of my fuel rail was already stripped, therefore I cannot tighten the fitting properly. Seeing if you guys know if there are any other installation and adapter options that I can do elsewhere along the fuel system before buying a new fuel rail.

SEE EDIT AT BOTTOM OF THIS POST

Problem solved, parts on order. Just incase anyone ever has this problem or would like to install their sensor elsewhere, here are the parts I ordered:

Russell 644120: 6an male to 3/8 quick disconnect (goes on fuel rail where line snaps on)

Russel 670340: 6an female to 6an male with 1/8 npt port (screw onto the above part, screw pressure sensor into 1/8 side port)

Then a part I found on eBay: 3/8 push connect to 6an female (screws onto above part, then fuel line snaps back onto 3/8 side) can be found here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/281291998924

Will update once parts are in and installed

EDIT: Just use Russell 640730. It is one single piece that accomplishes all that I was trying to do. I jumped the gun a little too quick.
