More interesting reading on fuel pumps and continental engines mind you this
is for the IO-360, but I suspect the application is similar.

Replying to Bill, referenced in Bob Mackey's e-mail note to Bill, below.

Bill,
I have a Dukes P/N 4140-00-15 (Cessna P/N C291504) Ser. No. 17689.  I bought
it new and used it about 45 hours on my Model W prototype, for a  Lyc. 
IO-360-A1B, and then stored it until now.  Yours for $500., no core charge.
Placard says 35 g.p.h @ 23 psi.
 Price of rebuilts is $489. plus $400. core charge.
