Return line caps

I have 1990 F350 with an ATS turbo. I am looking for a single nipple return line cap. I purchased a DIPACO return line kit from Accurate Diesel that came with 4 tees and 4 elbows. With the ATS turbo there is a heat shield between the rear passenger return line cap and the turbo that requires a single nipple return cap. The return lines are 1/4". I have contacted Accurate Diesel and was told to go to the dealer. The dealer looked at me like I was from Mars. Does anyone know where I can purchase a single nipple return line cap?

Go to a Case-International farm tractor dealer and ask for that cap for a 1066 IH tractor. I used one for my 85.

precisely what i did off that #7 return cap, just ran it around the front of the intake neck with loom around it for protection.

x2 on the N/A config. I did this when I replaced my injectors/IP.
As per Oreo's suggestion, I just left the crossover piece really long so it hung down well below the turbo, behind the intake.
