Dan;
You can find an LM7805 data sheet at :
http://www.fairchildsemi.com/ds/LM%2FLM7805.pdf The regulator should
be connected as shown in Figure 5; don't forget to add the capacitors at
the input & output of the LM7805-- without them, it will probably
oscillate.
Depending on the current you draw from the +5V output, you may need to
bolt the copper tab to a small heat sink to keep it cool. If you need
help calculating the temperature, let me know and I'll do an example of
how it's calculated.

#7805 Catalog #: 276-1770
Up top a 35volt input and a fixed 5volt output. I think it's rated at 1
amp
and their less then $2.
