teton12k,
I'm sure other Big 3 folks have them, you'll have to check.
928 INT'L has the Marshal, and Valeo regulators.
One is $65.00, the other $75.00.
FWIW,
This may apply only to me but the only regulator I have had luck with is the
black rectangular one.
Every darned oner of the Button type failed rapidly.
Don't forget to trickle charge your battery before cranking with rebuilt alt. If the new/rebuilt alt. either under charges, or max charges (pegs) with all accesories on you probably have a bad diode -low/no charge- or bad regulator high/pegged reading with accesories on.
14 volts is OK in my book and I wouldn't sweat it.

Take the regulator to a local alternator/starter shop and have them test it before spending $70 on a replacement.
I did this, and it tested fine...just needed new brushes ($10 while I waited - 5 minutes)
