Where can you find a fitting that will screw into the intake and exhaust ports and go to 1/8 hose barb. Thanks in advance.

Most people make their own.

If you are just running it for display you hardly need a hosetail, just the smooth outside of a bit of tube will do as they only need a few psi to run. That's how I run mine just a bit of silicon hose over a stub of pipe/tube

Worth checking what threads were used if yours was built in the US it may not have the 1/4 x 32ME threads on the stuart drawing.

One shortcut I've done is to buy hose barb fittings at the hardware/plumbing store, and turn back/thread the base to suit what it needs to screw into. Other times, as Jo said, just turn my own from some round bar. The barbs are not critical dimensions, just needs to have a small enough end to start into the hose, and taper out into some steps. I usually wrap a little wire around the tube to keep it from blowing off under pressure.

From what I remember, those ports are threaded with ME threads which are hard to get in the US. Go take a look at the PM Research site.

They may have what you’re looking for.

I did look at PMR befor ereplying they only show a 1/16NPT hosetail.

Also worth Noting the OP's other posts that he has no machines

PMR’s UST threaded pipes/fittings will mate to ME threads. You can stub out from the engine with those and then push on the air line and clamp it down with a hose clamp.
