The water pump on my capri is too long in the bearing housing section and this puts the pulley about 7mm too far forward out of alignment. Is there a difference in water pump lengths between the 691m and the 711m engine, ive got a 691m engine.

There are two water pumps, each with different forward lengths for different pully offsets. It can be a little harder to find the earlier type, as I think most people stock the later 711 pump.
I got mine from ebay UK. |

I might give that a try or i will lengthen the pulley to offset the difference by parting the pulley in half and welding in a spacer ring to make up the difference.

Ok I have found some part numbers, p730g which is for 71 -74 and p181g for 68 -70. I have a QH pump I got for free which is 730g the box says 71 -74 and it is identical to the one on the car. Does the 181g part number look familiar to you ? Thanks

Hi XLCapri
As the previous post stated there are two types of water pumps & I had this problem with one of my cars. Two separate part numbers are listed. Here are the part numbers: Water pump PWP181 (Protex); WP730 is also listed but may not fit. If you can, take the old one to Autobarn or Repco & check which one has the correct spindle length. Both can be ordered in & should be available. If you need some help with your Capris, visit my blogs at: http://fordcaprichatter.blogspot.com.au/ There are three separate sites & the My 1970 Ford Capri site might have some stuff to help you with.

Problem solved, i found another pulley in a box of parts i picked up. It has a deeper dish giving it the exact offset needed to perfectly align the pulleys. The part number stamped on it is 619F AA 63 37 62.
