Looking for AN to NPT adapter for fuel pressure gauge 
This is the fitting that is going in one of the fuel rails, the 3/8 NPT is going into the Nasty Fuel Rail and the one -8AN is going to the other Fuel Rail as a crossover line between the two rails. That leaves the one -8AN open for the fuel pressure gauge.
I cant find any fitting that will take me from that male -8AN to a 1/8 NPT for the fuel pressure gauge. Ive tried to figure out a different route instead of using that T fitting, but cant find anything that is going to work. I have to have a T because of the crossover line to the other rail and the other for a fuel pressure gauge. Im not using the back of the rails because the C5 doesnt have enough room to put a crossover line in the back, just going to put NPT plugs on the back of the Nasty Fuel rails.
Any help on how I can get around this pickle would be appreciated.

So that fitting you are talking about is a Tee fitting? Where its 3/8 NPT, 1/8 NPT, and -8AN ? Because Ive been all over summitracings website looking for it, they got a nice filter when searching for stuff and anytime I pick 3/8 NPT as the Tee fitting it only has about 10 items where they are all 3/8 NPT and -8an/-8an fittings.
Im seeing in your picture what looks like what you are saying a 3/8 NPT going into the rail and seems like I see a 90* -8an Hose end coming off and I see a fuel pressure sending unit there as well. Is this fittings a Y or a T. Cause looking at the angles it looks like a Y. If its a T I will be all over this fitting as this is EXACTLY what I want.

I think I found the fitting.
3/8 NPT to -8AN, this way I just hookup the fuel pressure gauge on there and then hookup the hose end straight to it.
Now I just hope that when tightening the fitting that it shows face up.
