I found a test gauge/hose/valve kit on Ebay for a good price (under $30 as I remember). Basically you have to hook to the top and bottom chamber fittings on the fuel distributor, and have a switchover valve system to the gauge. Do a search here, but my memory says the pressures are about 75 PSI, with one chamber being about 5 PSI lower than the other - this is the critical measurement, the deltas between the upper/lower chambers. This controls the fuel flow to the injectors. There are some very definitive articles in the archives here on the procedure.

Some of those rigs have chk valves for american iron. You might have to take it out.

If you want to adjust the EHA.. it will depend on gauge accuracy.
