dl456 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Hello , My limited literature list four different venturi sizes for this carb. The application is a 1916 Studebaker six , 354 cubic inch and has a 1-3/8'' inlet at the intake. I have several Stromberg carbs that will fit but would like to build up an original if possible. What was the original size? Jon, you out there? Thanks, Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbking Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Dennis - I have a LOT of Schebler literature, but documentation on the type R is sketchy, at best. To the best of my knowledge, you are correct about 4 different sizes. Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dl456 Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 Thanks Jon. Looking at several carburetors, not only four sizes but numerous linkage and airhorn differences. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbking Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) Dennis - I have 147 different NUMBERED Schebler model R carburetors in my database; plus a host of others that I have no numeric reference. Of course, Schebler did not deem it necessary to put the numbers on the carburetors. Have fun trying to identify them. The one used by Studebaker on the 354 is one for which I have no number. Jon.

dl456 Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 Thanks again Jon, Pictures I guess? Since I have 1-3/8'' at the intake, should I look at 1-1/4'' or 1-1/2'' at the carb? I don't see a 1-3/8" for the model R. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbking Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Dennis - I honestly don't know. I do know that "sizes" in this time period violate the "truth in advertising" idea. If it were mine, I would try to find another Studebaker owner that thinks he has an original, and get pictures and measurements. Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
