Does anyone know what the actual size of the old cj5 (1980) power steering pump pulley wheel with the single groove is? I am restoring my cj5 with the 258 engine and I lost the whole pump and pulley during my move to another house. Was in a cardboard box that I can't find. I plan on replacing the whole pump with a new one. Thanks!
 

I just went through swapping my pump. I tried 3 pumps and 2 diff pulleys before I finally just swapped my old pulley onto the newer pump. I just went out and measured both pulleys and they are both 5 5/8" in diameter. Don't think the size of the pulley is the determining factor, its how far In or out on the shaft the pulley actually sits so it lines up with the other engine pulleys. The first pulley I tried sat out too far by about 1/2". If you order a pump for your year engine, I would think it would come with the proper pulley. I have a engine swap so everything was different.
