Yeah, any compression test kit should have the right fitting. You can also use a spark plug anti-fouler, and adapt to your air hose.

a leak down tester would be my first choice

Lisle Tools available at NAPA or Carquest would have this hose for cheap, or you could find a local tools guy (MAC, Snap On, Matco) and pay more money

picked mine up at napa but I didn't even end up using them. It was just as easy and safer in my opinion to turn the engine over one at a time putting the cylinders at the top

Why is that? So in case something breaks the seal you don't have to play fish for the valve stem? J/W because I'm going to be doing a cam swap coming up in a little bit.

FWIW, I went to Vic Hubbards which is a one-off speed shop where I'm from and they had a hose specially made for the job, it was only $11.

I use Tim's tool. Works like a charm

It's $24 without the spring compressor, which is also good.
