Joe, the assumption, perhaps incorrectly as stated above, is that the alternator is internally regulated. If you have an external regulator, the regulator, not the alternator is most likely at fault, and should be replaced.

I went with a Delco just because of problems like this which is typical of Fords. If you go with a Powermaster Ford replacement, it should be internally regulated.
