Question Fuel pressure sensor

Ok guys I got a 89 f250 na that I'm helping a buddie work on a little history for ya. He installed new tanks, injector pump, and injectors and while replacing injectors the male end of the fuel pressure sensor was stripped. This sensor is only on cylinder 1 connecting the injector to the line. Is there a way to bypass this or build something cheaper than the $250 dollar sensor?? Thanks in advance

It's said to get the hard line from the #1 cylinder out of a van and use it to eliminate that timing sensor.

Well to start with its not a pressure sensor but a timing sensor (only used when timing using Ford meter) second off as stated above just get the hardline from a van for that injector and eliminate it

it is used with the ford timing tool and senses the injector pulse.
