    I have recieved my saginaw steering box off a wagoneer from ebay with the number 76 stamped on it. It has o-ring fittings. Now I need to order a power steering pump but Napa guy doesn't know what year to start looking at. Any suggestions?

    As I recall, the only difference is an extra fitting that screws in to the back of the pump to adapt the o-ring to the flare fitting. You should be able to find one at the junk yard. Otherwise, the pumps are the same.

    What engine brackets do you have, from a Wagoneer? I'd get a complete PS pump, with reservoir, for a late '80s Wagoneer (pick a year). Then I'd try the hoses from the last year of production for the CJ with a 304, 1981. If it's not the o-ring setup, then you'll have to have custom hoses made for that steering gear.

    They went to O rings in 80 so any pump after that should come with the correct fitting but if not easy enough to find as Tim says.
