I have a pressure carburetor that was rebuilt by G&N in 2011, cost of over $3,000. Just took it off of my plane, (Beechcraft Bonanza) I installed fuel injection on a just MOH engine, asking $1700 OBO for it. It looks great & ran perfect in every way.

It's a PS5-C, and sadly they just aren't worth much. Very small market segment, and by now everyone running an E-225 has one or two on the shelf already. I think you'll be sad you switched to the Bendix FI system. The one I had was worse fuel econ than the pressure carb, and didn't improve hot starts at all.

Should identify if it has the red gaskets, six discharge nozzles, and can take auto fuel or not.

Best of luck though.
 
Yea, you should see the pics and posts of what Chris has under the cowling of his (D?) 35. Personally, I'm sticking with the old carb, but with the fresh overhaul, that is one powerful beast. Only one problem: dude, you painted it YELLOW!

it's on BeechTalk - pretty cool thread..
