Unhappy Fuel rail shrader valve leaking

I found something wrong when I was working on the car today. I had fuel dripping down the head onto the floor. After looking around for a few min I found the fuel pressure test port (schrader valve) leaking fuel. I tried to tighten it up but had no luck. I am looking for a few new Ideas for my fuel rail now. I would like to have a different pressure reg with dual feed lines and a guage that will read the fuel pressure all the time.

If you see anything cool let me know.

From: Hell was full so they sent me to NJ
I feed fuel into the back end of each rail, with a -6AN connection welded on each one, and take the return off another -6AN fitting welded to the cross-over tube at the front of the rails. The return line runs to a Weldon AFPR under the cowl. I have a 1/8" NPT fitting welded on the passenger side rail for the fuel pressure sensor.

Dual connections at back of rails, and AFPR under cowl
