Um go to Autozone and buy their compression tester kit.... The gauge is removable with a quick disconnect air fitting. Remove the valve stem from int and vioala! You have your own air fitting. It uses and oring fitting as well. If you dont want to do that you could always just jam some rop in the cylinder the size of the spark plug hole and rotate the engine to TDC. This will crush the rope up against the valves holding them in place.
