I am looking for a 1/8" x 1/4" M-M adaptor in stainless or atleast food grade. NPT I assume.

That's an odd one, might have to due with a 1/8"npt close nipple and a 1/8"x1/4" npt bushing.

Thats what's there now in brass. I went to Fastenall (I have a bit of and in) they may have one in Burlington for $15+.

TTL was the place. This is for a weird keg. The gas in fitting still leaks slightly with 6 wraps of teflon tape. Is the answer 7+ wraps? It is as tight as I can make it.

You can hammer as much tape to the fitting short of not being able to get it to thread. More might help.

I have never had this much trouble with a fitting.

Are you threading npt on to flare? I'm not aware of an npt ball lock fitting? Flare are face seal, not thread.

You may be right. In thay case 7 wraps may not be enough.
