I'm pretty sure that's the right size... I've tried all over town, until I finally remember where I got my original one which I snapped on accident. It came with my Autometer Oil pressure.
Anyone know any online vendors that may have it?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the guy @ ace said it was a 3/8" compression thread to a 1/8" piping thread..
For anyone who cares, this is for my Bullseye Turbo Oil feed.

Just get a 3/8" npt to a 1/4" npt and then use a 90 degree 1/4"npt to 1/4" flare. They are easier to find.

Have you tried NAPA or O'reiley's?

that's what I looked for aswell... no one has a 3/8" npt to 1/4" npt either.... I just orded a pair off Forced Performance along with my intake, thanks anyways guys.
 
I didn't think the fitting on the oil filter housing is npt... rather it is bsp... (british standard pipe thread).
bsp here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_228

npt here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_pipe_thread

Meaning:
1/8 npt = 0.405" OD and 27 threads per inch
1/8 bsp = 0.383" OD and 28 threads per inch
3/8 npt = 0.675" OD and 18 threads per inch
3/8 bsp = 0.656" OD and 19 threads per inch

Reason for believing it is BSP or BPT:

Well looking at SBR website. "we install the 3/8" end in the Oil Filter housing and then the -4AN end into a -4AN line leading to the top of our turbocharger"

I called autometer and they said that the fitting they provide with the oil pressure sender is indeed 3/8" NPT.

Anywho, FP hooked me up with 2 90* 3/8" x -4an fittings, thanks for the help guys.
