The F100 never came with a 351W from the factory.

You could have a 40 or 60 or 70-amp variant. I'll guess 60 unless you have AC in which case 70.

As for rebuild kits:

Let me google that for you

Just look at the brushes, if they are worn out just replace them and reinstall the ALT.
But it might be a bad voltage regulator??
