Re: ZL1 correct carburetor
They are now available new from Holley I believe. 912 sounds like a real ZL1 carburetor to me. I recently sold a May of 1969 L88 4296.

Re: ZL1 correct carburetor
There are plenty of guys stamping the new ones that do not come with a date. Either way, it should work great for your application.

Re: ZL1 correct carburetor
When discussing ZL-1 Camaro carbs "correct" and "how they were built" are different.
Perhaps due to the ducted hood air cleaner interfering with the rear pump on the #4296 many if not all were built with the L72/L78 #4346 carb. Fred Gibb stated this in an interview many years ago and photos of the #3 Berger ZL-1 confirm it. The #1 ZL-1 flunked Tech at the Phoenix AHRA meet because the AMA specs listed the #4296 and the car still had the OE carb. Which carb should a properly restored ZL-1 Camaro have? You decide.
