With some mechanical skill you could make a adapter from 3" pvc pipe and make a cap. Then drill the cap to fit a air chuck. Just make a cap without the hole for the other side. It wouldn't take much to make. Also fill out you sig. so we know auto, man. and all the goodies.

i made an adapter for mine with a piece of 4" exhaust pipe (4-5" long); welded a 1/4" piece of metal for a cap with a 1/8" NPT weld fitting for guage, chuck, ect.; then found a piece of 4" Goodyear radiator hose or PVC rubber coupling; hose clamped them all together on the turbo inlet; then regulated 20 psi into that to pressure test the whole system. will post pics when i get a chance.

the dodge house was trying to find the source of a hesitation i have and their tool fits inside the turbo inlet and seals the system, but a phat shaft 62 has a bigger inlet than a hx 35.
