Need a fuel pressure gauge today (in houston)

I'm trying to get something done and need a fuel pressure gauge. I would prefer to buy a little 1/8" NPT gauge. If anyone knows of a store in town that is open today where I might find one, please let me know.

Or...

If anyone has a fuel pressure gauge I can use for a little while, that would at least let me get the job done.

I would prefer a 60 psi gauge but 45 psi would probably be fine, 30 psi might work in a pinch.


Thanks,

A set of A/C guages will screw right on. The old style r-12/r-22 fitting not the 134a fitting. Get a cheapo set.

The hoses are rated for some oils of course but I don't know about gas. They work quite well though. Nice long hose so you can watch and crank.

Ok I'm stupid - still works though.

Thanks but what I really needed was a gauge with 1/4 NPT.
I was working on my wifes car. I ended up scavenging a gauge from my Camaro so now it is stationary until I can get across town to buy a new gauge (hopefully today).
