Hi,
1990 LSC SE 5L. I want to buy a fuel pressure gauge to check the pressure at the fuel rail test port. I haven't shopped for one yet; who makes a good one and where can I buy it?

I already have a fuel pressure gauge that I use on GM / Bosch fuel rails. It mates to a schrader valve fitting, but the GM fitting is larger than the Ford fitting. If I could just buy the proper end fitting that mates with the Ford test port I'd use it with my existing set. Has anyone done this/know where I can buy just a mating fitting for the Ford schrader valve?

Thanks

Try a plumbing supply store. Not a Lowes or Home depot, a real plumbing supply store. You might even try a NAPA store if there's one near you. You could get lucky there.
