Sorry to say, but you can just forget about it. I looked long and hard for something for my 95 6.5L diesel and nothing exists. It isn't until OBDII arrived that it even became possible, and your 6.2L is well before that.

As Novaz nz said, you'd have to use mass flow sensors on the supply and return fuel lines and electronically subtract one from the other...all one-off of course.
