Thats the one I got.

The first one, the quick connect, in the cat seems ok, I would use it. Dont go with the top right kit as you have to hold the unit by hand.

Just be sure that the part you thread into the head is close to the size of your spark plug.

Ditto that, bought a NAPA mechanical tester it sucks, threads go way to deep.

Ok so if I just rent one for now, I can just take in one of my extra new plugs and make sure it will work?? Amd does anyone kno a link or vid on how to use one.....?? Sorry never done it before so I just wanna make sure I do it right!

When you thread the tester in, make sure the gas and kill switch are off, hold the throttle wide open, and kick until the needle stops moving. That will give you the correct compression.

I got the harborfreight quick connector tester. Junk. It will not read above 90psi on my blaster. Used a snap on from work and it is 175. Going to take it back and get a good one. Just an fyi.
