Default Fuel Pressure Gauge

Is there a handy dandy gauge I can hook up to check the fuel pressure instead if putting a autometer gauge on?

I think my fuel pressure is high, since the car sat for a yr, think my regulator is all dryed up.

So I just went and bought a gauge to hooked up to the schrader valve, and the valve has been done away with! All that their is a steel braided hose with a AN end the have been blocked off. Just my luck. How can ya tell what size AN the ends are, I guess I gotta buy a autometer gauge.
