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..
