Okay. I'll bite.  What is a "stuffer" backplate and where do you 
purchase them?  I expect it's a new backplate to decrease crankcase
volume, thus increase crankcase pressure.

And, where do you get the pointed needle valve which still fits the
original Fox stunt spray-bar?

I've always found the Fox flattened needle valve works fine as long
as it never gets bent.  I cut the needle valve short and put a 90 degree
bend in it.  This way it avoids meeting terra firma.  Besides, it's
the cheapest spray bar assembly you can buy.  But, I do wish the
original Super Tiger assembly was still available.  The one from 
Kustom Kraftsman is okay but very expensive and you have to use
his needle valves (also expensive).
