O'reillys has a plastic blister pack with (3) adapters (iirc) & one of em is what you need. It may be online on their site. EDIT the reducer bushing you have is likely 3/8 to 1/4 NPT & the gauge fitting is straight threads & needs the special seat for the "probe" to set down into & is NPT threads on the OD to screw into the intake port. With more thought yes I got the (3) pack at O'reillys & I dont have the part # handy.

You need a set of these. Get the set with the 9851 part number. I ordered a set of Stewart Warner gauges and had to get the adapters without knowing it. Until I began the install. My son's cheapo set from NAPA came with all 3 adapters but not the SW ones. You'll only need one adapter, and no, there are none available at plumbing stores. https://www.summitracing.com/int/search/...ture%20Adapters

Ok I'll check parts store first. My son's cheapo set from NAPA came with all 3 adapters but not the SW ones. Would the NAPA product have worked? Or did you need specifically a SW?

I actually got his gauges from Auto Zone. Any of the adapters that you can find, like the ones I listed above, will work. Buying a selection like that ensures that you'll get the right one.
