1984 CJ7 258 w/T176
1984 CJ7 w/ AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l and I am having trouble finding right hose. I ordered J5363661 from 4wd and no way of making it fit. It looks like this:
hose1_zpsa05c3d6f.webp

It stated for 80-86 CJ w/ AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l

then, I see this hose listed from another supplier J5370018 for 80-81 CJ w/ AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l

this second hose looks like a better fit

Does anyone have either one of these on their CJ and maybe a picture or two installed so I know which one to use.

thank you.
 
Picture number two is what was on my 1980 CJ5 . It was broken upon removal, but the PO said it leaked anyway and both were severely frayed. Hope this might help, AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l I6 as well.


This won't be too expensive Dear! That's what I keep saying. Over and over again.
 
Oh yea, I have this type of pump.

I did find a writeup on another forum and it shows the 661 hose used but the return line is different than what I have and maybe that it why they are hitting???
 
Let me see if I have a picture of my pump on my computer. Give me a minute or two.

Here it is installed. (Look past the grease, that is corrected now!)



Mind you, this is on a 1980 CJ5 , IDK if there is a difference and/or if this is the correct part for this vehicle; but is is what I have on mine!:chug:

(PM me with an email address and I can send you a larger file size so that detail is visible.)
 
Picture size was fine. It looked like in your second picture you have the J5370018 line on yours that works good. I believe the J5363661 would work on mine if I swapped the return hose also for the same type routing from the gearbox. I actually am going to keep my V8 hoses attached until I get the AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l back in and see how far they are off. The fittings are the same size/type so we will see.

thanks for the pics.
