dont quote me , but

 

The Carter C-RJH-08 125s, 136s, 150s were used on the Chevrolet 1929-1931 ?? and if they have the "C" before the RJH-08, means they were cast at the Chevrolet foundry by Chevrolet for Chevrolet. the ones cast by Carter did not have the "C"

 

the 125S had a short stubby fuel accelerator pump

the 136s had the long fuel accelerator pump with a brass cap...Carter C-RJH-08 136S on my 1929 Chevrolet

the 150s had the long fuel accelerator pump with a rubber cap....Carter RJH-08 150S NOS on my 1929 Chevrolet

 

of course they all had different jets and such inside, but the body was generally the same. if you look at my links and pictures you will see the 136s is a Chevrolet casting, has the "C" in the number, the 150s is not it was cast by Carter, no "C" but it still has the brass tag identifier, which did not survive on many of the carbs once in use and service...

 

and as with the other Carters noted above the Carter C-RAXK-0 was also used on the Chevrolet's. i know it was used on the 1928, not sure if was used on early models of the 4 banger. inline six came out in 1929 and so did the Carter RJH-08

 

some models can be looked up here w/ pictures: Carburetion or Carburetor Shop

Thanks BearsFan315!! That is just the kind of information I have been looking for. I appreciate it.

no problem, you are welcome... only one i can assist with, been rebuilding my 1929 Chevrolet for 7 years now, so learned a ton about it year before and after to learn interchangeability.

Bears Fan - 1 minor correction:

 

While one occasionally finds the brass cap on a Chevrolet carb; Carter did not place it there. Chrysler was the main user of the brass cap.

 

You are correct about the pump sizes, but both the 136s (late 1929) and the 150s (1930-1931) used the rubber cup (Carter number 87-19s).

 

The major difference in the 136s/150s carbs is that Carter tweaked the internal venturi size on the 150s by a 1/16 inch larger. Since the carburetors are identical externally, and the long, skinny pump was superior to the short, stubby one; most 1929 owners have a late 1929 with a 150s masquerading as a 136s.

 

The original tags were red cardboard. As the 150s was built into the late '30's as a service unit, when Carter was using brass tags (beginning in 1932), one often finds a brass tag on a 150s.
