That is Ford Festiva, not Fiesta. The Festiva used a very small 
Mitsubitchi alternator.
Many will work, the GM alternator works but it's 1/2 the size of the 
engine and just looks weird.
Mazda RX7 and lots of other jap car alts will work.
The main concern is the location of the mounting ears, the front 
mounting ears need to be 180* across just like the generator ears.
I have used many different junk yard alternators, I doubt I have 2 the 
same with 4 or 5 LBCs on the road in the family.
