List
I took one of my old spark plugs and broke off the porcelain ( be sure to cover it with a rag ), cut off the upper portion, gutted it and brazed a 1/4" x 4" pipe nipple onto it. Get a threaded air quick disconnect fitting to match your hose and you are in business.

In the original post, Dennis said:
"And no, I'm not interested in building one out of an old spark
plug. Although it would work fine, I don't have the torch to braze
on the fitting."
He may have secured his adapter by now, but for anybody else who
might be interested, silver soldering/silver brazing is a very good
way to achieve the same results, and can be done with a small propane
torch, not necessarily a welding torch....and it's a MUCH cleaner job
than brazing/welding.
I made mine like you did, Bobby, but silver soldered the quick
disconnect directly to the spark plug base, eliminating the pipe
nipple altogether.

Yes, I have purchased an adaper from Lockwood Aviation. Price - $16.40 plus shipping. The adapter is in their catalog, but not searchable on their website.
Have a wonderful day,

List
For those without a torch!
I found out that J-B Weld does a good job of attaching a pipe nipple or hose adapter to an old spark plug to make the Compression Adapter.
