Well, using my skill gained on multiple-choice questions in college, I'll guess c) Two hundred.

A question, were these the same carbs as used on the R2 engines?

That ‘200’ figure came from an ad Paxton Products (Granatellis) ran when they were selling off their remaining Studebaker parts inventory….

I’d bet 99% of those  new Carter AFB carbs were types made for Stude Avanti R1, 2, 3, and 4 engines.
