			I'd give Lindsey Racing a call and they could probably help find you the correct adapter. http://www.lindseyracing.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=LR&Product_Code=LR-FPGK

			I'm going to try to make my own adapter as well. For those wondering, the size for the fitting is 12mm x 1.5 on the fuel rail. Supposedly the fittings to make an adapter can be found at ACE Hardware so I'll be trying that soon.

			I had a hard time finding the right sizes at the local parts stores, so I got a new cap ($6) and had a local guy drill, tap and braze an adapter to the end of the old cap ($10).  If you can do the work yourself great, if not, I'm sure someone local can help.

			Check out http://www.clarks-garage.com/ under the shop manual section they've got the instructions to make an adapter. I made mine using their instructions. The hardest part was finding chunk of scrap metal to drill out.

			I just use mine to check the pressure if I have problem. I simply removed the cap and hose clamped the hose over the fitting. After doing so, piull on it pretty good to make sure it is tight. I would not use set-up for a permanent gauge connection.

			The easiest, cheapest, and the solution I use: A 6" section of rubber hose of the appropriate size with a gauge stuck in one end and hose clamps holding the gauge and the fuel rail on. jmd_forest
