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.

I guess with no more responses, and the car I referenced with a 3130 is a dave miner car, I will assume 3130 is the correct carb for a 65 z16. Whether a 3310 is also correct is outside my relm, but to me a 3130 is correct too if it was on a dave miner car.

Several years ago I restored a 3130 for one of Dave's cars, but I don't have the paperwork on that job handy so I can't tell you what the date was on that particular carb. I do believe he intended to use that carburetor temporarily while he attempted to track down an original 3310, which he finally did do. Perhaps the 3310 never found its way under the hood, I don't know.

For the record:

3130 = B body
3124 = Corvette
3310 = Chevelle Z16

Hope that helps.

Here's a pic of the 3130. (still don't know what the date was)

Here's the 531 dated 3310 I restored for Dave--as it arrived to me.

Here it is after restoration.

I have a 3310 off a '65 Z-16. Took it off myself. Has a May, 65 date? EH stamped on the left side of the air horn. Has the GM part # stamped on the right side but I forget what it is.

I also have another that is a service replacement. Same EH stamp and same GM part number but a different date and larger fuel inlets.
