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

That is definitely not a water pump pulley for a Capri. Water pump pulley has three mounting holes and is much larger in diameter. The link you posted looks like a idler pulley which is correct for a '91 N/A Capri and others.

Thanks for that info, I don't have access to the capri as its being worked on for a different reason. I'll look for the pulley you described. thanks again

Perhaps you are thinking of the idler? Water pump pulleys don't normally go bad but the idler pulley bearings do.

Generic idler pulley w/bearing (not Capri specific):

I'll double check with my mechanic on what it exactly is, I'll let you guys know what he says. Thanks for all the help

Does this look like it would work? https://www.amazon.com/Mazda-LF50-15-131-Engine-Water-Pulley/dp/B00KWEXEU2/ref=sr_1_36/147-5487290-7189646?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1551124265&sr=1-36&keywords=engine+water+pump+pulley

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.

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
