Default Fitting for spark plug compression test...

STORY:
During my recent FRPP Hotrod Cams install my #8 cylinder exhaust valve spring came loose. Found one lock in the head while the other dropped to the oil pan. Unbolted the oil pan and my wife's small hands where able to reach and and feel around for the other lock. Once we got all the hardware back we tried to re-install the valve spring. I'm looking for a fitting that will screw down in the spark plug hole for my air compressor. Any ideas?

Appreciate any insight...

something like this would be nice to
have, not sure if you have time to
order.

this shows the spark plug hole size, so maybe
with that info you can try some local stores,
to see what they have.

Speaking of...apparently my cam install in a few days will be one of the first installations at the new building. Bragging rights?

Brenspeed got plenty of contribution from me when I purchased my Pypes Longtube headers and midpipe...Later on down the road hoping to get a s/c from them.
