When you switched over to the 302 did you put in an internal regulated alternator or did you stick with the original stock externally regulated alternator? I know a lot more about Chevys than Fords but that might be a good place to start being the External Voltage Regulator. I personally would get a One Wire Alternator where the Voltage regulator is internal to the Alternator and be done with the problem.
