This doesn't answer your problem, but nobody has mentioned Bosch 13107 as a=
n excellent replacement. Ford Focus I think. It's a straight bolt on upgrad=
e. I have two.

My brother (73-Six) blew 2 alternators before he realized he didn't even ha=
ve an engine-block to body-tub ground wire. Is there any chance you're blow=
ing them immediately? Maybe have rebuilt unit tested before you install, as=
 dumb as that sounds.

    We checked that connection and it was clean and tight.  We are STILL no=
t getting any voltage from the alternator to the battery.  We walked throug=
h the procedure in Dan Master=92s book 3 times and every time, it points to=
 a bad alternator which I had tested and it=92s putting out over 13 volts (=
maybe not enough but more than 12). Why doesn=92t this show up at the batte=
ry?
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) w=
ire 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 spe=
nd any more money.

   Here=92s a synopsis =96 Almost new battery went dead. Charged battery an=
d took car to shop. Meter shows alternator is not charging battery (only 12=
 volts, not 14.6 as per Dan Master=92s book). Buy rebuilt alternator and th=
e same thing happens.  Swap alternator for a second rebuilt unit =96 same t=
hing, battery is not being charged. Tried 3 different meters =96 all showed=
 12 volts.  Hard to believe I got 2 bad rebuilt alternators.  What=92s wron=
g??
