Do you know of a 90 degree offset fuel fitting for the vehicle listed above Ford fuel schrader to Ford schrader valve on the fuel rail pressure tester? The electrical harness and vacuum line for the fuel rail pressure damper are all in the way to get fuel pressure tester hooked up know of a better way that works . Thanks.

Good morning,

Can you post a picture for me of the location of the schrader and the issue with hooking up the gauge?

Haven't had a chance to take a photo yet . The electrical for the IAC and TPS are fixed in such a way that I can get the Ford adapter on the schrader valve but when trying to attach the pressure gauge to adapter the hose can't be connected due to no clearance of the electrical harness. I can remove the vacuum line from the fuel injection pressure damper but even doing that the connection to the Ford schrader valve adapter won't work . is there such a thing as a 90 degree ford adapter to get past this issue ?

I used a 90 degree adapter for the old R12 Freon systems. They are the same thread and pitch and work great.
