[TR] Alternator not charging battery - 1976 TR6

[John Innis]

Don't forget to check your grounds.  Had a similar issue with a buddys car
years ago.  We replaced the battery, the alternator, etc, but problem
persisted.  Eventually we found that the ground strap from the engine to
the frame was loose.  Repaired that and all problems went away.
