Potential(?) TR6 Electrical Problem

[ewcorco@erenj.com]

        Of course the first nice day in the past 185 days in Eastern PA, I
go to start the TR6 and nothing - absolutely nothing.  The car turns right
over when I jump it, but the battery doesn't hold a charge (from either the
alternator or a battery charger).  I can accept (and hope) that it's just a
bad battery, but what's the best way to tell if I have a ground somewhere
that's causing the problem?  Also, any reccomendations for a new battery? 
I'm sure the guys at Sears haven't a clue what number Die Hard to supply
for a 1971 TR6...........
