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.

Good discussion on the forum last summer about this.

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.

Even though Ford used 777's from the factory, I have found 888's to be a perfect replacement, and less weight too.
