Default valve stem length

I am redoing wheels and tires on my 67 and cannot find reference to correct length valve stem used . These are the standard rallye wheels.
Thanks, Dennis

Dennis. Valve stems are black rubber and approximately 1-3/8" long.
The cap should be a "Dill 627"

Thanks Bill,
I couldn't find the length in any source I looked. I knew the caps were not standard. I believe Paragon offers them, Again thanks for the info.

I agree any place that deals in tires should have them. You may have to look through their can of used caps.:
