- Strangely enough, after all those years of flattened Fox needle valve ends
- (on Fox .35 stunt engines), conventional pointed needle valves are now
- available. In fact these, plus the "stuffer" backplates are currently
- considered to be the hot setup for Fox stunt engines.
-
- Of course, one of the sure improvements for Fox .35s for many years has
- been to replace the [crappy] stock needle valve with a Supertigre version
- or equivalent..
