How many amp rating does a power top require ?  A/C is 25 IIRC.

Used circuit breakers for 1969-73 convertibles are 20 AMP.

Take note how different each of these are to one another and always check against a known original before you choose

Jeff - agree.  Question for you and the board, most of the 1960s Ford breakers I've seen have the Tung Sol stamping.  A few have T/S in a circle.  I've seen Wagner breakers but in `70s applications.  Have you seen anything other than Tung Sol for the 1960s Ford breakers?  Just curious. 

By the way, here is an Ebay listing for a NOS C4DZ-14526-C relay.  A bit hard to read with the lighting, but it does say Tung Sol.

Has anybody documented that convertibles with the power top option used the HD yellow c8tf voltage regulator like the factory A/C cars used?

I checked the 68 Mustang Electrical Assembly Manual and it list C7AF-11450-A1 or A2 as the only solenoid. The power top drawing does not have another one listed.

Maybe figure it another way. If the convertible in question (assume a 69/70 since you are asking) got the group 27 battery wouldn't that automatically come with the 55 amp alternator ? If it got the 55 amp alternator the yellow marked C8TF voltage regulator would be the mating regulator. Wouldn't it?
