You can get a gauge to measure fuel pressure at the Schrader valve (looks like a tire valve stem) but that's not necessary to do the valve cover gaskets.
By the way, I don't think there's a procedure for a SHO valve cover job in the Chilton's. The Chilton's is only good for non-SHO specific/general Taurus jobs.
There should be enough info archived here and in the FAQ on the shotimes.com website to get you through the job.
oh yeah-just for future reference--you don't need to post the same thing multiple times. A response won't be any faster and it may turn off some those who would usually be incined to help. Just been my experience here over time and thought I'd pass it along. Good luck and keep asking questions if you get stuck.
