Default Fitting for fuel pressure gauge

Im currently installing a A-pillar fuel pressure gauge in an 07 corvette. The pressure sensor mounts at the schrader valve on the fuel rail. Problem I ran into is the fitting on the rail and on the sensor are both male ends. Does anyone have any idea what fitting I need and where to find one? Thanks

The connector you need is -4AN female on one end and 1/8NPT female on the other. They are not easy to find.

After my fruel pressure guage sendor went bad I ended up ordering the hose kit below. It comes with a few different connectors. I mounted the sender to the firewall rather than the fuel rail. I like this set-up much better as the sendor doesn't vibrate like when mounted to the fuel rail.
