Compression Fittings

Does anybody know were I can get a compression fitting. I was trying to hook up my boost gauge and I dropped it into the valley. Would Home Depot have one?

Yep, Autozone. I had to send the wife there a few months ago to get some.

Alright thanks for the stores. I have now replaced the one I lost and have hooked up the boost gauge. How tight do you tighten the compression fittings? At idel im getting 0 psi. and when I drive it I cant get it past 10psi. Driving down the road at 50 mph I get around 2 to 3 psi. Is this right? I really tightened the compression fittings so could this be the problem?
