Q-jets from Buick 455 engines, 68-73,  have larger primaries, flow
maybe 800cfm.  Other Q jets have max flow of, like, 740 cfm.  (I'll
grab the books later, if you need the numbers).  Push the air door
open (top plate for secondaries) and look at what limits the maximum
opening.  If the door doesn't open to slightly off vertical, the stop
can be filed.
