Try JunkYardDog.com and put your request up for multiple junk yards to see. Trust me, you'll get a slew of replies.

I have not had much luck findind spare parts for these old 323's. I am in need of a driverside windshield moulding and a fuel sending switch for a 92 and have not been able to find one for ages. For now i just reset the tripometer every tank and just have no moulding there. Good luck in your quest. If you do find a parts car somewhere be sure to post for those of us still looking!

This response is for everyone looking for parts. Most Mazda's hit the yard between 10-20 years. heavy around 15 years. Over the years, I have learned to stock up body parts and electronics, because after 20 they all become hen's teeth.
 
Now.....if you still have dealer contacts with a dealer who will dig stuff up that may still be out there, call him. You would be surprised what some of them can find. If not, try this dealer. diamond mazda. 1-800-527-0189. they have gotten a few things for me, but not cheap. I pay the price!
 
Also, on a rear bumper I needed for an 86 Toyota took me a lot of time searching on the internet. Finally found one after several days in a junk yard across the country.
 
Check every new and used parts supplier you can find. Look in parts catalogs. If you speak Spanish, try some places in Mexico. They run a few years behind us on parts supplies. It can be done, but is time consuming. Find out what other vehicles the part may have been used on. Contact places like LKQ and Pull a Part via phone and internet. Look for e-mail resources that may contact you when a car comes in. Pull a Part has that. The last 89 323 I saw was about 6 months ago at a LKQ. It has become tough finding parts, but there are still a few. Check e-bay motors for parts as well. You never know.
 
Happy hunting......

Check your gaskets you probably have an oil leak my car would always run on in the summer but fine in the winter. there is a gasket on the right side down under the distributor that seems to leak. Mine would smoke really bad sometimes. There is a Chilton guide ( I think that is what they are called) for them. That gasket is defective. I don't own the Mazda anymore.

What bothers me more than the oil leak is the overheating. How hot is the engine getting? Was this city driving or on the highway?

1 look a simple test if water is flowing thru your system,is to start car,run for a while to running temp. turn off and check radiator with your hand on the front of it if water is flowing correctly the whole radiator from top to bot should be warm or hot if the bot feels in any way cooler, than you are dealing with blocked cores , restricted waterflow 2 next get a assistant to rev motor to 3 grand an now look at the radiator hoses for vacumm closing caused from worn hoses the pre ignition from your earlier post indicates advancement or even over fueling hope that help you in your repairs
