I don’t own one of those cars so I’m no expert. But there is a significant difference in the design between the LSM and Moroso units.
Won’t the LSM one with the short handle fit? Although in an SS motor it would be tough to pull enough pressure to check the seat pressure even if it fits its underneath the cowl with the short handle. I think a while back there was a thread where someone with one of those cars mentioned he had an LSM and made a custom offset handle for it or possibly broached the handle so he could apply torque to it with a ratchet and extension from outside the cowl area.
Check out the LSM one at;
