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.

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.
