Well, I must issue a retraction. I blame it on failing eyesight and the fact I lost one of my bifocal contacts. The regulator is not original to CSX 3288, being a C8TF, not available in 1966, I think.
rokndad, I agree with you that the C5TF makes more sense and I think is correct for 55 amp alts. The Shelby American parts book dated 12-23-66 lists the regulator as C5AZ, so I wonder if that is where the C5AF idea came from? I don't have photos of the details of any original unrestored 427s in my files. Can anyone else help out here?

Jim
