RE: Sport Jett 120
The big-block 120 was last sold in 2002 I think.
The BSE-120L came out in 2003 - Dub shut that down in 2006 since he only sold a handful of them.
Cost about $40 more than a BSE-100L

$.05 part stops me in my tracks. 
I swear I put the wrist pin retainer in a safe place where I would find it again. NOT!!
So I had to place an order for a single wrist pin retainer. I bet Dub will get a kick out of that!
I ordered a remote needle valve at the same time for this engine.

LOL...
I saw that this morning....
I sat there imagining that "TINGG...... ping...... " sound as a retainer went flying across the room while trying to be reinstalled.
The remote is a good idea. Actually makes cowling the engine easier .... you do not have to deal with cutting/locating the carb mounted needle valve location quite as much.

RE: Sport Jett 120
Bob, I got another question. I received the retainers and remote needle valve assembly today.
How am I supposed to close off where the stock needle went? I thought the Universal Remote Needle Valve kit would have included a closed nut or something but all I got was the remote needle valve assembly and nothing to close off the port in the stock carb.

RE: Sport Jett 120
For a while ( a few years ago) the URNVA sent to known Jett owners included the screw. Since most of the needles are sold for "other" engines these days and the jett carb changed 5-6 years ago, he typically does not include that screw.
Problem solved is good. I think its a 3-56 x 1/2" screw ..... yes, weird size.
