Fuel Pressure Gauge

Hey guys! Im a new member but have been following the site for a long time. My problem is that when I had a valve job done on the head for my 87 TC the shop told me that the car had been running lean. I am trying to run the fuel system diagnostics as per the FAQs page, but I am having trouble finding a gauge that will reach far enough to be read while driving the car. I have tried Advanced and Autozone with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I appologize if this is in the wrong location!

- I did try to search but could not find what I was looking for...sorry if this has already been covered!

Thanks!

This is what I thought I had bought;

but ended up with just a gauge when I went back and purchased it. Not their fault but it should work.

These gauges were made by Actron, although I don't think that name is on them. I got at least one at Sears. Notice in the picture that I added 4" extension which is just common pre threaded copper tubing available at any plumbing supply. I'd recommend using a 6 inch piece instead of 4"

Do not over tighten the gauge fitting that screws on the schrader valve or it will ruin the rubber O-ring inside the fitting.
