Lowes, auto parts stores, etc have them....pipe thread is always tapered.
Thanks for this advice. I found that I could get all I needed from Home Depot. But I also discovered that early Corvettes (64-68 or so) used a manifold fitting that I think is exactly what I need. I got it on Ebay for 8.99 and it included shipping. I hope it is as advertised. If not, back to Home Depot.
