On mine (96 4.0) the regulator is built into the alternator and it is replaced as a unit.

Most modern cars have the regulator built in, so you will need to replace the whole thing. Sorry for the bad news. You can always go to a electric motor shop and see if they will rebuild it with the amps you want, I have always wanted to do that but did not want to wait.
