What was wrong with it?
That can be a very good clue about a problem in the system.

Need to see what makes the VR-106 a 'heavier duty' regulator to know if there is any functional difference.

Also pulled the top on the NAPA replacement and all looks good electrically.
They sure wound the coil better on the Echlin VR....
