Turned out it was the meter. If you haven't already, try another meter. Read at the battery with the engine off. It should read 12 volts with a load on it (like nav lights) or maybe 12.5 if it's been recently charged and there is no load on it. With the engine running, measure at the battery and you should get 13.6- 13.8. You might occasionally see 14 volts if the battery was low and the system is charging it vigorously. Good luck. Hopefully the problem is with the meter and not something else. If you changed the regulator, there isn't much else that could cause a high voltage.
