I just put a 304 (which had the power steering pump attached) into my 85 cj7
that originally had a 258. It appears that the power steering high pressure
hose will not fit into the pump on the 304. Is there a difference between
these pumps from a 304 and a 258? Or do I possibly have a pump from another
motor?

You would want the pump for your Jeep, not the engine's one no matter
what steering setup it's for. Your CJ7 uses a Saganaw steering setup.

Depending on year(s) one could be O-ring vs. flare fitting on the other.
The fitting on the back of the pump can be easily changed to match the gear
box.

Just came to mind... If you still have the 258 pump, just swap the big
fittings (it's like a 1' or 1 1/4" wrench) on the pumps.
