[Shotimes] A little advise - Fuel Pressure tester kit

[Carl Prochilo]

I was right in one sense and am glad you all told me this part worked. 
The adapter that came with the kit I originally bought was defective.  It
was missing the little plunger that was needed to mate with the main
connector.  AZ exchanged the item no questions asked.

Thanks for your help.
