Default Oil restrictor problem..need help!

Hey guys,

I had a question for those of you using the ATP restrictor. It says it's 1/8 NPT male and 1/8 NPT female on the other side. If that's so, why cant I get any of my 1/8" NPT fittings to screw into the female end? I've tried 5 different fittings and none of them go in. However the other ends on those 5 fittings are 3 AN, and the 3AN goes right into the female 1/8 NPT.

I can get the male 1/8 NPT into the restrictors female end, but it will only go in half a turn. Do I just need to bust out the pliers and wrenches and use my gorilla-like strength and tighten the crap out of them?

Thanks
i have that exact same problem^ i dont wanna buy a new oil line if i know theres some way my oil line will work..and i have the correct oil line this **** just doesnt go on..is there some sort of fitting i should get?

a picture will most likely point out you are wrong about the threads on your fitting, and i can tell you what they actually are.
