I posted a thread a while back called "FB, FC, F-Me I'm Confused!" Where I asked the same question.
http://www.rotorhead.ca/ref_VIN.php
This (above) is Manntis' site, where he shows a breakdown of an Rx7 VIN. JM1FB... the FB is the designator of what generation/model of car we have.
In 1979-80 models, the letters "SA" appeared
In 81-85 models (after some major changes in 80-81) the letters changed to "FB"
These two denote first generation Rx7s "SA" and "FB"
The second generation all fell under the "FC" category
and the third generation all fell under the "FD" category
