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

[Samouce's]

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!
