Barb Fittings

I need barb fittings for my Holley FPR it has 3/8in NPT. So I need a 3/8 to a 5/16 barb fitting, but I cant seem to find that anywhere. I know this is a popular FPR, so I know someone has to know.

PS LOL im at 666 post count!

Nappa or a Shop that sells Hydraulic Hoses and Fittings. Check Yellow Pages.
Most auto shops stock 3/8's NPT to 5/16 or 3/8 in Brass Fittings. ie Straight 90- 45 Degree Angles.
$2.00 either size at the most.

I found some at the O'Riliey by my house. I found a kid about my age and he let me go in the back and look. I found what I was looking for in a minute. Of course they didnt have it in stock. So I Placed and order and picked up an application for a job while I was there. Boom Pow I got it done!
