My cheap fuel pressure tester.
 
I just checked the fuel pressure in my car to make sure everything is good and thought I'd post a pic of my cheap/ghetto fuel pressure tester in case anyone needs the info. I clamped to the outside of the fuel rail rather than the threads that hold the cap on. The tube is 5/8" and fits very well. however, on the end to the guage, the fitting is much smaller and i had to put the 5/8" tube over a smaller tube and it leaked slightly. it worked well enough to confirm my fuel system appears good for now. bought the fuel pressure kit on ebay for around $30, but i think you can buy them about anywhere. that's all. thanks.

Hey Jyoon, fyi please make sure you get the jump post cover's. Corrosion on that 14 pin connector and the exposed jump start terminal can cause you a lot of problems.

What I did once, I just bought a tester from PepBoys for 17$ and then put small o-ring inside the nut and screwd the tester to where it was supposed to be. Worked.
