The power tap 3/8 QC connector on the battery positive cable is susceptible to 
corrosion and can feel tight but not be clean enough for a sufficient 
connection. If you know for a fact that your alternator is fine and you know 
for a fact that all your ground connections are tight, take this power tap QX 
apart and make sure its cleanliness approaches godliness.

Dave ? 

We checked that connection and it was clean and tight. We are STILL not getting 
any voltage from the alternator to the battery. We walked through the procedure 
in Dan Master?s book 3 times and every time, it points to a bad alternator 
which I had tested and it?s putting out over 13 volts (maybe not enough but 
more than 12). Why doesn?t this show up at the battery? 

We even tested at the back of the alternator and it only shows 12 volts (?).

On the 76 TR6 (well all the CF series cars) the alternator output (brown) wire 
connects to the power tap on the positive battery positive cable with a 3/8 QC 
connector. If this connector is not making good connection even a good 
alternator will not charge the battery. Check that out before you spend any 
more money.

Here?s a synopsis ? Almost new battery went dead. Charged battery and took car 
to shop. Meter shows alternator is not charging battery (only 12 volts, not 
14.6 as per Dan Master?s book). Buy rebuilt alternator and the same thing 
happens. Swap alternator for a second rebuilt unit ? same thing, battery is not 
being charged. Tried 3 different meters ? all showed 12 volts. Hard to believe 
I got 2 bad rebuilt alternators. What?s wrong??

Richard ? 

Dropped the alternator off today for rebuild ? we?ll see what we get. Do you 
have a part number for the Delco replacement? I may need to go that way. 
Thanks.

Jim --- Let us know if rebuilding your original alternator raises the reading 
to more than 13.xxv. I recall my original Lucas never showed as high as its 
replacement Delco number of 14.6v 

Dick 



Actually, no they don?t have the facilities. However, I have taken the 2nd 
alternator to a local auto electric shop where they tested it and it?s only 
putting out a little over 13 volts which I do not believe is enough. I plan to 
retrieve my original alternator and have it re-built (which I should have done 
in the first place).

I asked the counter guy for an alternator for 1980 Cheve V6. 
Clocked it so the mounting points matched the block piece. I recall making a 
bushing here so the thru bolt fit better. I use the original wire connection 
junction that's used for the Lucas and crimped on electrical spades from the 
alternator wires Into the junction. This could be done neater but wanted to 
keep the Lucas junction box. Not sure why, after about 20 years with the Delco!
