Default Schrader valve TPI

Anyone have a replacement part number? Mine started to leak after I released pressure to change fuel filter.

Its like a tire valve. Get a tire valve core tool and try tightening it..... or just fool with it a little, it might re seat back where it goes...

Alternatively: Take it down to NAPA.. Ours has a selection of them in a plastic box and they match it up.

It's really old. Could be bad if it started leaking and you were unaware.

Its a 87, seems tight, I think the seals are bad. Plus there was no cap on it when I got the car. This is a disaster waiting to happen.🔥🔥

How far do you want to take it? If you want a nice brass one, HERE it is, it should be the same one as yours except it has a brass cap. It was recommended for my Holley Stealth Ram when mine had an issue. PM me and for the price of shipping, you don't have to buy all 5. I have 4 left.
