I hope this topic is in the correct forum.

I need a new compression tester. Old one is shot and never sealed very well.

Which one works best with the old-style (spark plug tube) heads?

I have an inexpensive one with a quick connect hose. I pull the spark plugs and tubes, thread in the hose and connect the gauge. I use the same hose with the check valve removed for holding valves closed while changing valve springs or valve stem seals.
