You will need a fuel pressure gauge. Sears has a pretty nice one for $35-40.

If your adjuster has a spot for it buy a gauge for it and screw it in. I got mine from summit was less than $20. bbk makes one that goes on where you shrader valve is but is like $50. Or if you dont want to buy a gauge get a tire gauge and put it on the scrader valve on the fuel line. I do not recomended to do this all the time but will will work once or twice if you are not adjusting it all of the time and dont mind a little fuel spilling out.
