Pretty. I am just scared to death of any fuel line in the engine bay, then running them by sparky mc spark there.....
Though you are the master of fuel lines. How comfortable do you feel with the connection at the end of the fuel rail?

I'd like to find an adapter as well since I've got plenty of fuel pressure gauges (with their own assortment of adapters).
Does anyone know the thread measurements that I'd need to find the proper adapter, or a place that has one? It shouldn't be more than a few bucks to convert one thread to another...

i'm interested in an adapter too... i have a gauge that fits the rail on my jeep but it doesn't fit the 944. i was just looking at this the other day as i think my fuel pump check valve is bad.

i would be interested in an adapter that fits that to a schrader valve... that is (was?) standard on a lot of american cars, autozone/advance/etc usually stock schrader valve fuel pressure gauges.

from wikipedia:
The standard Schrader valve has the following thread:
External Thread.
METRIC: 7.7 mm OD, thread root diameter is 6.9mm x 0.794 mm pitch.
IMPERIAL: 0.305" OD, thread root diameter 0.302" x 32 tpi (threads per inch)
Internal Thread. (the valve itself)
METRIC: 5.30mm OD x 0.706mm pitch
IMPERIAL: 0.209" OD x 36 tpi.
