[Supras] oil pressure BSP to NPT adapter

[Mike Long]

BernieK and the list,

I don't know the the part number off hand, but everytime I've dealt
with McMasterCarr over the phone, the rep has always been able to find
the correct part.  Not only that, I've called them a few times looking
for a part that they don't supply and they've either gotten it for me
or have told me the vendor to call directly.  Needless to say, they're
one of the few supply houses I love dealing with!

Cheers,
Mike, 87T
