Yeah, send $100 and junk pump and it all comes back perfect. I've done 
two myself now, and while it's not a hard job, repair kits plus shipping 
is $60 - $70 each! For $100 someone else does the work and you support a 
small business. Next time I'll ship 'em out. I've heard it takes a few 
weeks.

I've collected a small number of rebuildable pumps for my 195.6, if you 
want one it's yours for shipping. 199/232 is slightly different lever 
system (they look awfully similar though). They either are fuel only, or 
fuel + vacuum booster.

It's easy -- if it attaches to your motor (195.6 vs. 199/232/258 vs. 
V8), the other variations are essentially cosmetic.

There are a zillion tiny variations of each that don't matter at all -- 
with/without the glass bowl, exit straight, exit 90 degrees, built in 
hose nipple, thread-in nipple, etc. Unless you're a pure restorer don't 
matter at all, just adapt.

If it's the type with a glass bowl, make damn sure the bowl comes with 
-- they are hard to find! The filters that go inside are still quite 
available. I like the glass-bowl type, personally.
