What year? What engine/fuel system? The fittings vary depending on system type. TPI is different than CPFI. LT1 is also different.

TPI and LT1 are the same, as are most late model GM's. Even the LS1. Not sure on the size but it's the same as a valve stem on a tire. -4 sounds close.

Yes, the TPI and LT1/4 are the same. TBI is different. Vortec/CPFI is different yet. That's why I have three different pressure gauges.
