Yup, we are. IGN light comes on and then goes off.

The original alternator has to have voltage fed to it to excite the fields.
I wonder if you are getting voltage from the ignition to even get the
alternator to begin producing voltage

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

Subject: [TR] Alternator not charging battery - 1976 TR6
Here's a synopsis - Almost new battery went dead. 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??
