Good Fuel Pressure Gauge?

Hey guys.  I'm looking to buy a fuel pressure gauge (for fuel injected apps) to use only for diagnostic purposes and was wondering if any of you bought one that you like.  If so, which one did you get and where did you get it?

Thanks for any feedback!

Bought one at harbor freight for $19.99 with fittingsand everything. Seemed to work fine on my freinds 87 bird and my 88 crownvic wagon. The fittings leaked, so I bought some plumbers teflon tape and works fine for the 20 mins I've used it.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Yeah, I think I got it on sale, might run $25, not sure. I belive it was the cheaper of the two kits, but don't quote me on that. It will say that its compatable with ford.

I got one from HF also but it started leaking gas into the gauge, I think I would try to get one somewhere else.
