[Tigers] Stinkin NPT adapters....@ wits end.

[CoolVT at aol.com]

Those should be common plumbing bushings.  HD or Lowes or any  plumbing 
supply place will have them. Bring yours for comparison.  Even  better, ask if 
any of them have a "flush bushing" in the size that you need. A  good 
plumbing supply store might be the best bet for the flush bushing. As the  name 
suggests, the bushing, when installed, will set flush with the deck or  
slightly below or a fraction above....basically flush.

Hello  again,

So I have been waiting on two adapters so I can get the intake  manifold
bolted down, they arrive and are completely the wrong  size.

I run down to the auto parts store and get some that fit (should  have done
that in the first place).

Here is my problem, they will  not thread flush with the manifold.  The
adapter for the water temp  sensor has to be fully seated for the sensor to
clear the  distributer.

The heater return looks just  stupid.

The  fittings are NPT 3/8 X 1/8 and 1/2 X 3/8.  Due to the NPT flair,  then
will not screw in all the way.  Who makes a fitting that will fit  flush? 
Can
find nothing in Summit or Jegs.

Thanks for any  help!
