2nd gen Water pump
I searched "Waterpump, water pump, 2nd gen water pump, 1st gen water pump, compatible parts, 2nd gen, 1st gen to 2nd gen".
No threads answered my question. Does the 2nd gen water pump fit the first gen?
I still have my NEW 2nd gen water pump and my new (to me) 1sts gen runs hot when I push it, about half way on the meter. And the reservoir fills up. after normal driving for a while everything goes back to normal.

no the water pump covers are different.
the whole water pump housing assembly can if you do a little work.
new water pumps are cheap, even from mazda

I just did this this spring. I used a 2nd gen housing (yay! aluminum!), but I used a 1st gen water pump (which was also aluminum, a miracle). There were one or two mounting holes on the water pump that didn't match up to the housing, but I just coated it with some good sealant and haven't had any issues.
I'd guess I shaved close to ten pounds with this mod.![Smilie](https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
However, halfway on the temp gauge is about normal. But if it overheats at highway speeds, then you probably have a clogged radiator. If it overheats at idle, check the clutch on the fan. And go ahead and replace your radiator cap, they're only a few bucks and worth ten times that as preventive maintenance. Good luck...
