The original factory alternator in my 3.0L `88 is finally on its way out, not bad for 24 years old with 138k miles......

Anywho, this Aerostar is strictly a work horse and winter beater. I am wringing every last bit of life out of this Aero and it could be scraped at any time if a major part fails (engine, trans, rear end, etc). In a nutshell I am trying to avoid putting any money into this van unless absolutely necessary. With that said I have many good used alternators from Fords of the same era and would like to put one to use. I'm looking for information regarding alternator compatibility.....

Any information is much appreciated!!!
