No.  The ammeter does not need a ground.  I've also never seen one fail, so
I would suggest you have a mistake somewhere else that is routing current
around the ammeter.  A test here would be to disconnect the ammeter and see
if the headlights (or anything but the horns) still work.  If so, there is a
wiring error.

The fuel gauge (on a TR3) does require a ground.  Have you tried making sure
it's adequately grounded?
