Any L7808, LM7808 or KA7808 in a TO220 package should work, make sure pin 1 is input, pin 2 is ground and pin 3 is output.
As far as I know the LM78## regulators are rated at 1 Amp and the L78## regulators are rated at 1.5 Amp, all the ones I have seen are In, Ground, Out (1,2,3).
Do not get the smaller 78L08 one in the TO92 package as it is only rated at 100mA and is wired differently.
