Trying to figure out what fitting I need
 
I forgot the size I need, When I went to the auto parts store I said I think its 1/8, but then he said 1/8, ok, and whats the other side?

I'm like what the hell, I need to know both? Thats lame. Anyways, its the same fitting that would screw into the oil feed of a t3 saab turbo or thunderbird turbo, I forget which. Please help if you can, thanks a bunch guys! O0

if it's not 1/8" npt, buy a tap, tap it.

It's a 1/8npt male. The other side he's asking about is the side that will connect to your oil line. If you have a -3 line, you'd need a -3 male to 1/8npt male (then you would say "straight" for a straight fitting, 45 for a 45 degree, or 90, for a 90.

More than likely, the -3 (or whatever hose size you're running) will throw off a hardware store. They don't have AN sided fittings.

i just use a 1/8" npt to a 3/16" brakeline, then run the brake as hardline. the hole in the npt to brake fitting is about .090

Yeah I went to a local auto parts store. Bought a length of 1/4" brakeline, which has -4AN fittings, and a -4AN to 1/8NPT adapter. works great.
