Old El Dorado's Long Valve Stems Need Replacement

[ruffy]

A rather new tire on my '72 El Dorado had

a slow leak. After a few air fill ups I took it

to a tire shop. Turns out the base of the

long valve stem dried out and was brittle.

He fixed it with silicone. Now another tire

shows the same problem.

My question is - where can I buy these

long valve stems? They're not your usual

valve stems, because the '72 El Dorado

wheel isn't usual either

I would think that a good tire shop would have access to them to order them for you but you are looking for a TR417 valve stem
