Default 5.9 injector air fitting?

Hey guys.

I'm going to be doing injectors and valve springs pretty quick here. Where could i get a air fitting to screw in the injector hole? I did google it but nothing came up.

Thanks

depends on your spring compressor, if its open at top you can use a magnet to pull the valve back up. We have a little tool here that holds the valve by the notch in the stem where the keepers go to keep it pulled up. i dont like doing them in the truck personally, always afraid of a keeper gettin away from me.
