I'm pretty sure there were other cars, with engines bigger than 1600, that 
had larger AARs. Consider Volvo or Saab, for example. Perhaps you could 
plumb in one of those.

FYI, our '73, and perhaps also our '72, IAD have a larger AAR inlet than the 
earlier ones, not because they had a larger AAR, but because they had a 
vacuum limiter piped into that same port. The larger port might make it 
easier to use a larger AAR, or perhaps you could parallel an MT and AT 
Type 3 AAR.
