You need a gauge that measures up to about 50 psi -- whatever's lying
around ought to do.

---------------------------------

If you live in Canada, Princess Auto has suitable gauges for $4 - $8.  Make
an adapter by finding a small bolt the same size thread as the fuel pressure
test point.  Cut the bolt shorter, drill a hole down the center of the bolt.
Solder, braze, weld the small bolt to the gauge.  Its not high pressure so
you don't have to do a very good job of it.  Took me 5 minutes and cost $5
total.
