What you need to do is best done with a spare valve cap. The spring and ball must remain functional and in place. Take the spare cap and drill a hole in the top, braze or weld an adapter to install a 0 to 500 psi gage in to the cap leaving the hole open to the gage. Just install this inplace of the unmodified cap. As you can see the cap has a recess in it that needs to remain intact for the spring and ball.
