Hi Jeff those $17 needles are very good value and he claims they are from the same manufacturer. As for the G4 caps on LM bodies, all my bodies end up in one box regardles G4 or LM, caps end up the same. When I need to put a carb together I just grab what is closest to the top of the box. I also drill the G4 idle screw, I could probably get away without doing it but it is what I have always done so I keep doing it
