65 z16 carb info update

[black69]

For what its worth, I posted a few yrs back I had a 3130 carb I beleived came off a yellow z16 in florida (parted out). I got advice here that its for a big body chevy, and almost gave the carb away the other day, but then thought hold on (until I was sure).
Now I see a big dollar z16 on ebay (red- black top) with the same exact carb as I have (but mine is mint unrestored). same dates. even has stencil codes on top of fuel bowls,
Is a LIST 3130 the right carb for a z16?? I know a guy that wants my carb, but I want to be sure before I let it go.

3310 is the correct Z16 carb. Chevy sold them over the counter for years so it is common to see them. The original 65 carbs have many unique characteristics though and are quite valuable. What are all the numbers on the choke tower of the carb. There may also be 3 numbers on the left side of the choke horn.

Even though a 3130 is not a Z-16 Chevelle carb, it is off a 425 horsepower 65 full size Chevrolet and still relatively valuable, especially if it has the 65 only small inlet fuel/float bowls. Just by looking at a picture, the 1965 Holley 3310, 3130 and 3124 all look almost identical. I will attach a picture if a "real" 3310 carb for you so you can see the float bowls I am talking about.

The 3130 I thought had the small bowls.

It did unless it was a later service carb,

check out the car than makes me wonder, I believe a 3130 is correct, not a 3310. here this car is previously owned restored by a z16 expert (dave milner?). there is a perfect carb pick if you scroll down. mine has that same date code.
