If it's original I'd consider just having it checked and the "suspect small parts" replaced locally. I'd avoid an off the shelf replacement unless maybe it's not the original in the car.

A '95 I would think should be KG9/140A

An original should likely have the AMP and an 8 digit number etched into the case. 10480202 maybe?

Took your advice and shop replaced the regulator in alternador.
They said it was original.
Took 2 50 mile trips and charging good. Thanks.

Good to see that work for you. I might have thought they would have done the bridge/diode also but I do believe it was the right thing to do.
