Default Compression Tester Adaptor?

Hello all,

Where can I purchase the proper adaptor to test compression on the Model A engine. I currently own a MAC compression tester with standard plug adaptor for a modern car

Imadean adaptor but it doesn't have a schrader valve to hold the pressure and get the reading. Is there a way to add theschrader valve?

you need to make an adapter so your existing hose with Schrader will screw into it. for 6 bucks buy one the next time you order
