    If I were to machine a spacer for underneath the fuel pressure regulator and incorporated a port for testing fuel pressure, do you think they would sell? That’s all. Thanks

    Everything but the driveshaft. B03A - 410
    For a 3.4L, I would buy a T that I could put in the line where the rubber line connects to the metal line that's in an easy to reach location. It would be some type of metal to metal T type connection.

    That way I could check fuel pressure without having to disturb anything on the banjo bolt side. IIRC, I've seen some GM cars with fuel pressure access ports in easy to reach locations near the engine top.

    I figure I can mill a block of aluminum, install the pressure fitting (tire valve thingie, name escapes me. Provide longer bolts and two gaskets for maybe 75 bucks... sell them on EBay or something

    We simply cut an old fuel rail line with the pressure fitting, place a hose on one end. Then slide the other pressure fitting back and put another hose with clamp.

    What pressure fitting? On my 2.7 the fuel line runs from the filter of inaccessibleness to the back of the fuel rail underneath the intake plenum at the firewall. There’s no place to easily test it. I’d like mine to have one, figured others might too. I don’t like playing musical banjo fittings and trying to mickymouse a bunch of crap to check something simple.
