Default Model A - Compression Test

Hi everyone

Wanting to do a compression test on my Model A - my compression tester is not large enough to screw or seal up in the spark plug hole. Is there a special adapter to use or is there another method/tool to use?

Your input is much appreciated!

Or you can just knock the centre out of a old spark plug

Wrap it with friction tape. Works for me. Lasts for years.
