Default valve

anybody know where I can buy the low pressure valve (looks like a tire valve) for my '78? Also is there a special tools used to remove it? It has a tiny leak that I have stopped with Teflon tape and the cap, not the right fix.

Same thing you need for removal of a bicycle tire valve core.
