I'm assuming you want a gauge for temporary hookup to check your 
pressure. I have good hose for $3/ft. 

McMaster-Carr has a $10 gauge that would work just fine: 4089K61. It has 
an NPT connection that you'd have to adapto to a 5/16" tube to connect to 
the hose.

Or I could buy the gauge, adapt it, and sell you a kit that would serve your 
purposes, but I'd need to know how much hose you want. Two feet would be 
fine if you just want to check from the engine compartment. Much more 
would be necessary if you want to watch from the drivers seat while driving.

I don't recommend connecting a permanent gauge. That's unnecessary and 
runs a lot of risk of leaks or worse. Very hard to do safely.
