The Zenith was used for the very early 1925 cars. Then the switch was made to the RXO.

At about the same time the vacuum tank was changed from the G&G to the 8 bolt SW.

I believe that there was a Carter Model 33-S used in 1920-22, and also in 1923-24. A Carter Model 32-S was also used in 1923-24. The RXO was first used in 1925 and after that the RAJXO was used in 1927. The RAKXO was used in 1927 and 1928. I have no listing for a RBO being used for Chevrolet.

thank you very much for your help. I have been told by people who know more than I do about it that Chevy went RB-O RX-O RAJX-O
RAKX-O and RJH-O8.

Thank You

Your list is correct. The dog's answer was not. The carburetor number 33s and 32s carburetors used a RB-0 casting. The carburetor number 4s and 6s used the RX-0 or CRX-0 casting. As pointed out in an article in the G&D it is indeed interesting that carburetor numbers 33s and 32s were use by Chevrolet before numbers 4s and 6s.

Up to 1922 carburetors were supplied by Zenith (except for a few early models that used Marvel, Stromberg carbs. Starting apparently (definitive documentation on the exact dates has not yet been discovered) in 1922 Zenith, Carter and Holley carburetors were factory installed. ca 1925 model year Carter carburetors were factory installed. It is possible that some "early" '25 models (Superior K) had factory Zenith or Holley carburetors. Carter carbs were exclusively used from then to 1949.

The R-0 Carter carburetor was used by 1925-26 Flint automobiles and possibly others.
