Default AC Leaking low side valve core

I have a leak coming from my low side air conditioning valve. I tried tightening it up but still leaks.
After pulling it out it looks much beefier than the skinny cores that came with my removal tool.

Any idea what size I need to get or where to get the proper core?

thanks

I had a leaking valve years ago and ordered a new valve from sunset. Was inexpensive is I recall.

Thanks.
I was just wondering if the part is different depending on compressor installed. I am using the original compressor but I have seen a/c layouts on other 993's which also had everything original where the position of the high and low side ports was different.
Hate ordering from Sunset - too hard to keep from adding extra stuff to my cart.

I would think the schrader valve cores are a standard auto parts store item. Easily purchased anywhere.

Yep. Going to pull the valve and go over to my local Pep Boys next time I'm at the car.
