Hmmm.... confusing. I think you already answered this but I forgot the =
response. Does the Ign light come on when you first switch on and does =
it go out after starting the engine?

Is the belt tight?

I'm grasping at straws.

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=E2=80=99s book 3 times and every =
time, it points to a bad alternator which I had tested and it=E2=80=99s =
putting out over 13 volts (maybe not enough but more than 12). Why =
doesn=E2=80=99t 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.
