Testing Fuel Pressure

Does anyone know where I can get a test pressure guage for the lift pump on an '88 F250?

The guage I have used on GM cars in the past is too big.

Thanks.....

Do pressure and flow test on the fuel pump at the Schrader valve on the filter (FSS- fuel shutoff solenoid disconnected). Remove the tire valve core and hook a hose and pressure guage on it should see 4-6 psi when cranking. Then do a fuel quantity test same place, should see 1/3 pint in 10 seconds of engine cranking, route fuel to a suitable container with a hose.
