[6pack] Alternator not charging battery - 1976 TR6

[Victor Snively]

Dennis, 
Had the same issue with mine. Follow the brown wire from the alternator through the firewall. The insulation may have worn through and grounded, or there's a connection issue under the dash. There's also a black wire that grounds through one of the threaded gauge mounts, the ones with the serrated nuts. That was my issue, it had worked itself loose.
Good luck,Vic Snively'75 TR6

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??Dennis Culligan, 1976 TR6 _______________________________________________
