E150 Tiara Conv.
Hi there folks. First time posting/browsing this site. I'm trying to find out all the information I can in dealing with a 1993 E150 Tiara Conv. Van that my boss owns. He's wanting to add in some hefty electronics and since I'll be doing the work, I need to find out all of the specs of this vehicle (more on what the "Tiara" includes in it's package).
Mainly, did it keep the stock alternator? If so, I'll need to replace it with an H.O. alt.
I tried looking for a search function for your forum, but no dice. Then again, I could just be being blind but I digress.
Any help will be appreciated.

As you may already know Tiara is no longer in business. I have an 88 Tiara and it had a stock alternator that I up graded to 100 Amp. If you do, do not forget to up grade the wiring to handle the larger amperage.

Well i think it's definately going to need an upgraded alt. something in the 140amp range. Any suggestions? What size of alternator casing is stock and are there any other size casings than stock that fit well? (I'm more familiar with chevy alternators, namely 4.3L, 2.2L, and 5.7L.)

Alternators....
I recently replaced the 130A alternator on my 1995 Tuscany Conversion Van. I believe the factory standard alternator for that year was 90 or 95A. The options the 130A runs are power mirrors, power drivers seat, power windows, ceiling lights, rear folding seat/bed, dual AC, 13" TV, rear 12v accessory plug, rear tape player and all the standard things like headlight/turn signals/horn, ignition, parking lights etc etc.... I suppose the electrical harness as a whole unit is a heavy duty one.
