compression test help

I am trying to compression test my engine,i got a mighty vac compression tester and the mva5605 adapter.Has anyone used this adapter?it doesnt seem to want to thread in for me, i can only get ot to go about a hal a turn in and it stops.It doesnt seem right,i am worried about it not being in right and getting blown out and damaging threads in the glow plug hole,also any idea where to hook a remote start button so i can turn it over without being in the truck,thanks

As for cranking, I just do the redneck screwdriver trick across the starter relay. Mine is on the passenger fender.

If you have a 10MMx1.0 nut laying around, see if it threads on to the adapter smoothly.
