where to buy an inexpensive fuel pressure tester gauge for an 81 244 200

the ones in the car part stores are not for bosch or CIS injection systems...is there somewhere I can get one that works on Volvos for the same price range? [$40]...Kris

Here's one for $105 just for Bosch:

Another option, at least on an 83-84, is to cut the fuel line near the rail and install a 1/4" pipe tee using two hose nipples (hose barbs) and hose clamps. Screw a prssure gauge (0-100 psi) into the open port on the tee and check the pressure. After checking the pressure, remove the gauge and install a 1/4" pipe plug. There is a low risk the hose clamps could leak later and a fire could start. I tigthen my hose clams at every oil change but they usually aren't loose. jp

JC Whitney (cough, cough) online catalog. Around $50 as I recall.
