Purchased a new old stock Raby 2270 motor from a member a few months ago. Motor is ready to go in and just noticed that I am missing one of the 5/16 inside diameter hose barbs from one of the Empis. I am having trouble locating one locally that has the compression thread pattern instead of pipe thread. Attached is a picture, can anyone help identify and source one?

First, the Empi carb hose barb is a M10x1.0 thread.
My Raby motor was built for owner #1 in 2010 and never installed. Owner #2 had it for the last three years before I purchased in April. Sticking it in a 76 914. Like most projects it morphed into a 5 lug and restored brake project so just getting the engine in this week. Per Jake Raby's recommendation, I put in new valve springs to eliminate any issue with spring compressing. Super excited to get it running.
