To avoid problems the old style needle with the metal tip is preferred over the Vitron tip, due to new fuels. There have been some problems with the double ball type valve sticking, due to dirt in the fuel.

Uncle Max, aka Max Musgrove gave his input to this same post on Fordbarn. He recommends the Grose twin ball S jet inlet valve for several good reasons. John

I never had much luck with the ball type float. I agree that the rubber tipped needle can't be used with alcohol bearing fuel, but given that most, if not all, fuel now has some alcohol in it, any non fuel proof fuel parts of the system are suspect If you are having a problem with the stock needle inlet valve, the chances are that there is a problem with the needle, needle seat, or the float, its pivot, or the float level setting.
