What fuel pressure gauge setup?

I just picked up a Sears gauge but I think I am looking at some connector 'issues'. Is there an Alfa (GTV6) specific solution?
You can puchase the correct fitting from Granger as an A/C schrader valve. I purchased a pack of 6 many years ago and have tapped them into banjo bolts for temporary use on the Saabs and also on vacuum pumps so I can service auto A/C. You can also surely get them at NAPA.
I used the appropriately sized coupling to bring a brass hose barb together with the schrader valve. I then inserted the hose barb into the cold start injector hose and attached the guage to the other end.
You could also use a "T" if you need the cold start valve.
Note: I never leave the test guage on the car long. I also really keep a fire extinguisher handy.
