[Gary WA]

Did each tire have a valve cap for removing valve or one per vehicle from factory? JS dosen't really say but that spare had one and the others?

EXCEPT ACME valve stems... ALL stems on the ground had a full cap and ONLY the spare had the valve remover cap... 1 out of the 5

You sure about that Pete?

From The Revised 2011 JS&RG

In the general description - "Valve Cap - All valve caps were unpolished nickel plated and had a core remover tip."

In the ACME description - "Valve cap - The core remover valve cap was 5/8" tall with a 23/64" diameter base. the upper portion had a slightly larger diameter with an x knurling pattern."

Listed on the component chart, All ACME stems used the 301 ACME cap, which is a core tip cap.

If there is something I'm missing, could you point me in that direction.
