Didn't yours come with a small 90* plastic fitting?

So did you find it, or did you get a brass one from a hardware store?

IMO, Get a 1/8"npt to -6AN adapter then use a female -6AN 45* to -6AN barb fitting and go right over the top throttle cable/cam. That how I did mine except with a -6AN 45*hose end and there's no clearance issues at all with the throttle cable/cam assembly.

Not trying to cheap out, but that sounds expensive. My NW throttle body did not come with the fitting either.

You can also get the fittings in blue, black, or red/blue finish.
