  • Golden Hawk Carb question

    I was just wondering if anyone knew why Studebaker used a 2bbl carb on the GH. 4 bbls were optional on other models, and the later R2's used 4bbl? Just curious.

    I've wondered that myself. Hopefully someone will respond with the answer and put our minds at ease.[^][^]

      Maybe because they needed to install the carb in a pressure box and still have room for the supercharger and partial flow oil filter. Besides, they had a hell of a problem with getting enough fuel to the 2 barrel under boost. The extra air flow from a larger carb is not as big a deal with forced induction too.
