Over charging

Make sure the regulator is properly grounded . A poorly grounded regulator can cause an overcharging condition .
Measure the resistance between the negative battery post and the regulator body , shouldn't be more than a couple of ohms .

Make sure that the regulator's voltage sensor wire is well connected to the power post on the horn relay and to the terminal on the regulator.
It's the 3rd wire, Red, labeled "+".

Are you measuring with the battery connected or disconnected? If you disconnect the battery while the engine is running the voltage can go extremely high. This can damage sensitive electronics in more modern vehicles with on-board computers. It can also damage aftermarket stereos if the voltage gets too high. Clean the battery terminals to make sure the system is solid.
