Can't be wrong if it runs right! A Q-jet from a 3.8 Buick etc. should be jetted right ,or at least close, and the small primary throttle bores are ideal. Those huge secondaries have an adjustable air valve above the throttle plates so no danger of over-carburetion. Just find or make a good flowing adapter and you're good to go with a little tuning (which you should do with any carb).
