Alternator Identification.
Now first instinct is to think that this is an FD alternator because of the orientation of the clip however it seems to be a little bit off from where FD one usually is which is parallel to the bracket mount side.
This is the only writing on the alternator. Got it from Eagle auto electric and Im awaiting a reply but I feel like rx7 users would know better.

I just want to know because it would affect how I wire it to the car right?

Swapped the B pole from the S4 alternator to the new one so the stock wire would fit.
The pigtail I set up so that the clip would plug in but I cut the S wire is actually going to be run all the way to the empty spot in the fuse box or to an independant fuse. Not sure yet.

Nope. I just wrapped it up like that to keep it clean looking but the yellow is just wrapped to avoid touching anything. just the white and black one is connected to the green one. the other wire is being run to the fuse box as soon as I can find a female spade connector to fit.

Used a female connector I pried from another clip and put it into this connector for the bottom of the fuse block.
(Before new female connector installed)
