 I took an old spark plug.   took out the ceramic  and got a  1/4 inch pipe tap and threaded the inside of the plug,   then  installed my air hose adapter that fit the compression tester.   to  get the ceramic out, I think I ground off the metal that was crimped over the  ceramic.  the hole was a bit large for a 1/4 inch tap to get a good set of  threads,,  but there was enough to make things hold.  you can use  silicone on both threads before assemble then let it dry,,, or a lot of  teflon  tape.   if you cant find a tap,,,  you could drill  to fit and solder the adapter in.

Hi Boyd'

I used a 12mm x 1.25 thread pitch bolt , drilled a hole lengthwise , then brazed an air conector

to the top of the bolt, works great in the little 12mm spark plug hole. Stopped at that

point and played a round of golf. Will get to the compression check this afternoon.

  Thanks for your idea--I couldn't figure out how to get the ceramic out of an old plug.
