Yes, as long as it has the correct Schrader valve connector.

Mine came with the car.

I would recommend a liquid filled gauge.

When I went to buy mine I think Casper's stopped carrying that valve...I wound up getting a complete liquid filled kit from Kirban's.

I bought mine from OTC tools about 20 years ago. Still works great.

Nevermind, just seen that it was a rail mount gauge.  How is a gauge like that useful for the driver?

you put a hose on it...lay it on the windshield when you need it

Look at the bottom of the page...see the adapter for $14.95?  you buy that and connect a 1/8" npt fitting to it...hose to that...and other end of hose to the gauge
