Just go to http://groups.google.com/group/nighthawk_lovers and in the top right corner is a 'search this group' box. As to translating jet sizes I have no idea how that's done, I just went with what Dennis said he'd measured. The kit I got from starcycle came with two sizes to choose from, we simply went with the smaller of the two because I wanted to maintain some semblance of gas mileage. They worked great so I've still got the larger sized jets in the box.
