If it's on the end of the fuel rail, it's -4an and you can get the fittings at a hardware store or plumbing type store. If you can't find on, go to anplumbing.com (i think that's the name) or summitracing.com has them as well.

I've never been able to get them at hardware or plumbing stores. Mkerly has the size right; it's -04 AN. I believe that AN has a 37 degree flare and SAE is 45 degree flare. Alot of hardware stores carry SAE flares. Check out summit for the AN fitting or get a local shop to order it. A -04 female to 1/8 NPT male and NPT coupler will work nicely for your fuel pressure gauge. Your fuel pressure gauge was working properly all along. I forgot that your stock FPR was still operational and the FMU is just a riser. I won't go into details, but we put the sensor in the wrong place to work at anything less than 0 boost. It should be in the fuel rail.

I honestly don't know which flare I bought (it's the correct one though), but I found mine at a local industrial hydraulic store.
To find one in your area, go here

click on brass products and find your area and it will list if there are any stores.
