Pull the cap off and then drill the hole oversized and tap it 1/8 npt. Then you have a good selection of nipples and other fittings you can use as well as using a decent sized vacuum line. This is what I did to my SX regulator as it also had a very small fittng that seemed to be 1/16th npt.

The smallest NPT size that I could find on McMaster is 1/8". You can buy a 1/16" NPT to 1/8" barb fitting from Aeromotive. It's part number 15630. Check this link here:

I don't think there are too many other choices. You might not even need to tap it, just drill a hole and screw it in, then take it back out again and use teflon tape. Just don't tighten it in far enough to bind the spring.
