    I bought a genuine cap drilled a hole and tapped a 1/8 thread in it to fit my normal pressure test pump. Easy as and works well

    its the same 1 for newer gm cars, i believe it is a 36mm adaptor, tab10036 is bluepoint #, ta32a is snapon #, dont have my matco book handy, but a real tool man should have known what you were talking about, I got a matco man that you can describe something to and he will rattle off the part #. hope this helps.
