I needed the same type of pin for the fuse box connector when I installed fog lights.
I could not find anyone to supply me with one not even the dealer.
I used a standard female spayed terminal and used RTV sealer squirted it into the connector around the pin to hold it from getting pulled out.
Another option would be to find a connector from a junk yard and reuse one of the pins

Sorry to say Jack, but Lucky hit the nail on the head.

That connector is made of pure "Unobtainium", it's just not available.

Either go Lucky's route, or find a local salvage yard with some vehicles built on GM's Delta platform like the HHR, Cobalt, G-5, Ion, or SAAB 9-3. Then try to salvage a connector from one of them.

Use a standard fuel injection gauge 0 to 100 psi

If it was a SS, that 100 psi gauge wouldn't even come close.
The SS high pressure fuel pump can put out some serious fuel pressure numbers. Check out this RPD shot from my car at startup.

There are lost of options for gauges. Look at summit racings web site. Also a very cool place to put the gauge is to get a pillar off of an ss and mount it on the post it will look factory.

A new one is expensive but you can find them use from time to time
