He wants a brass block with a bunch of NPT threaded holes. Not a bushel
basket of tees, nipples, and adapters.

You could certainly make one yourself. Brass stock from Enco, tap/drill
from the auto parts store, if you're not already so equipped.


I make my own out of aluminum. Using drops of 1.5" x 1" (or around
that size) by 6" long, I drll a hole down the center, tap both ends,
add either a plug or gauge to one end..then drill and tap a series of
holes in line with the hole down the center, add a couple holes on
each end for mounting and voila..a decent manifold made out of scrap
stock
