Title: New Pulley
Post by: LGCapri on February 22, 2019, 11:08:11 PM: The Capri needs a new pully for the water pump, can anyone send me a link to a replacement? I've found this one but I didn't know if it was the right one. https://www.autozone.com/external-engine/idler-pulley/duralast-idler-pulley/634098_658599_0 (https://www.autozone.com/external-engine/idler-pulley/duralast-idler-pulley/634098_658599_0)

Post by: Rocketman on February 26, 2019, 12:41:38 AM: Closer, but no. The pulley you are looking for is a single v-groove pulley.

Did you find out what is wrong with yours? Like someone above said, it's not an item that generally goes bad or wears out.
I don't know of anywhere you could purchase them brand new, perhaps at a Mazda dealership.
Should be the same for the 89-93 Mazda Miata. They did switch to a 4-rib micro-v at some point but I'm not exactly sure when.

Post by: LGCapri on February 28, 2019, 06:32:17 AM: The pulley was bent from the previous owner, but it was no fault of his own. He really wasn't a car person and didn't know much about the car, so I bought it off of him. And the 89-93 miata's have the same pulley? I'll look for it today and tomorrow (Taking a junkyard excursion). Thanks again
