Would like to communicate with anyone knowlegable with the late Model T (and early Model A) innertube valve stems:
Schrader 777, 888, 6300
Dill VS6, VS74[no TR16], VS 74, TR 16 VS 74, and VS-74A
Trying to understand the transition from Model T (wood spoke wheel), through the late Model T (wire spoke wheel), to the early Model A.

Re: Late "T" Tire Valve Stem & Hardware
It really helps to know the year of your car! I'm upset with the current availability of correct valve stem hardware. I use old stock correct items, and have no trouble. The big tire companies don't care what is correct.

Re: Late "T" Tire Valve Stem & Hardware
Even though Ford used 777's from the factory, I have found 888's to be a perfect replacement, and less weight too.
