The fuel pressure regulator is located under the upper intake plenum. Have a read through the link below and let us know if you have more questions:

Fuel pressure regulator on Blazer 4.3L CPI W engine (incl'd EGR and IAC check/clean)

And as Ryan said above, you have to get a fuel pressure gauge to test the pressure. You should be able to pick one up for $20-$30. Mine is/was an el-cheapo and has lasted me well over 6 years of use on various repairs.

You mean you bought a fuel pressure gauage and the needle was bent on it when you bought it? What do you mean by 'pumping too much gas in it'? I'm afraid your post is a little confusing.

The schrader valve stem on the fule lines is bent?? Is it bent to the point of not being able to check fuel pressure??

You should be able to pull the valve out with a regular tire valve extractor. And yes, the valve from any other similar year GM vehicle should work, but get a few incase you damage the seal.

The schrader is what you are in need of replacing is it not...? If it is, then yes, you can remove it from a fuel rail just like removing it from a tire.
