Previous owner installed it. I don't know about a voltage drop becuase i don't have a voltimeter, BUT when the car gets really low in rpm or when i shut it off all the lights dim significantly.

Well as far as I can tell there is no way this powermasters alternator will bolt up, where the rx7 alternator has ears for attaching to the block this one has a solid piece.... back to square one.

I went through all the powermasters, they don't seem to have an exact bolt up, this is the alternator that's in my jeep, but it's definetely not a direct bolt up.
You talking about Jims5543? I should have just looked at his LOL

im talking about 13b ace jim
I think he might have had to clock it, but other then that
he bolted it on, I believe in a parkinglot because he broke
down and had it sitting in the car actually

I did some further investigation on this one, it's anything but a direct fit, the only way I can see this bolting up is if you didn't have the bracket for the stock intercooler installed. As it sits, with my stocker its not possible, the bolt I have in the current alternator almost touches the bracket adding another 1.5 inches makes it impossible 
**** well I ain't got the money, but at least it will fit my Jeep LOL
