I have a permanent gage installed to monitor and trouble shoot the hyd system.
You can install it in a tee at the IN port of the FEL where you can see it.
As you operate the cyl or hyd motors, you can see the pressure being developed. It will let you know the pumps psi, and allow you to check the relief pressure and set if necessary.
Whatever valve you operate, will show the pressure on the pressure gage.
Here are two test rigs, or you can just mount the gage in a tee.
You can use these to plug into any QD and momentary bump the lever to read the pressure.
The gages are only about $15

All return /tank lines can be teed together as long as the back pressure stays low. You are usually only dumping fluid from the cyl as long as it takes to open/close it. Any relief fluid flows through that line also.
Well I don't understand. They tell me if I put a pressure gauge on the QD it will not show pressure because there is not resistance and it did"t show any reading. However, when I disconnect the QD's they come apart with a pop. Is it possible the brand new hydraulic top link is bad?

When you plug in the gage into the QD, nothing will happen until you move the lever both ways.
Did you activate the valve. Check both QD's
Only activate the levers briefly.

Did you verify that the PB sleeve or screw is installed? Did you check with air.
If you have all hoses connected correctly, and the path is from pump to FEL PB out, then to IN port of new valve, then to 3pt, you should have fluid at pressure on the QD when you activate the lever.
You are checking the pressure at the work ports, correct.
Did you hear the relief?
If you have no fluid to the new valve, that means that the FEL PB is not installed, and therefore the fluid from the FEL is flowing through the return port to tank.
Do you have 3pt?
