Page 7 half way down shows the pic in this thread https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...t=jumper+wires.

These explain how to do the upgrade, https://www.rx7club.com/1st-gen-archive-71/electrical-83-alt-79-a-369140/ and https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showthread.php?t=157054.

You need to do slight modifications. the thread is probably above^ or in the archives. I think the SA's have slightly more to do than the FB's

Ya, it's in the archives. SA and FB are completely different, from what I remember a s4 alt will swap in an FB fine but the newer ones have different connetors on the back of the alt requiring a simple wire connecter mod.

Look for the 105 amp alt upgrade in the archives, it explains everything perfectly.
