Not in the catalog, no. Shop Manual explains they are for noise suppression as others mentioned. They were used all over the engine bay, not just the voltage regulator, including alternator equipped vehicles. Transistorized ignitions didn't need one on the coil.

Thanks Tedster, your pic of shop manual reminded me I have couple complete shop manuals in a file cabinet that I haven't looked at in many years. Need to see what they are and possibly use for reference.

They are excellent, no BS and content-heavy. Even the operator's manuals are a cut above. People could still, and were expected, to actually write and impart knowledge and such. Modern docs are pathetic, and just stuffed with CYA warnings and cautions, at least the first 50 pages anyway.
Although the latest vehicles are a lot more sophisticated I guarantee any mechanic would learn something directly applicable and improve his or her skillset by reading those old Motors and Ford Shop manuals.

I should have checked my Shop Manual right from the start. It shows that condenser by the voltage regulator, and a few other locations.

This is the seat from my '65 Ford Custom Cab, but probably came from a Ford or Mercury Standard Cab.
This is the seat from a '66 Ford Custom Cab.
The bottom of the '66 seat seems to have more / different springs?
Does anyone know if this was a '66 feature or a Custom Cab feature? I'm getting '65 Custom Cab fabric made, but what seat bottom would you recommend for my '65 Mercury Custom Cab rebuild?

Both of my 1966 Custom Cabs that came with a bench seat have the one like your last picture. I know that Custom Cab had 5 inches of foam in the bottom cushion while Standard Cab has 2 inches of foam, but I never paid much attention to the springs underneath.

Thanks TA455HO. You are right, there is much more foam on the '66 Custom Cab seat.
I pulled apart the '66 seat bottom, and I was wrong about extra springs, there's just a single set. It's kind of obvious now but I guess it's made deeper to accommodate the thicker foam.
I'm gonna use this for my '65 Custom Cab and hope that my new fabric is cut correctly to cover all that foam.
