- Hey Team, I'm trying to track down an electrical gremlin, maybe one of you can help me out. The battery goes dead on my 1974 1/2 TR6 if I don't drive it everyday. I measured the current at the negati

- Hi Kendall, I just rebuilt a "5-wire" 17ACR alternator to replace the alternator on my 74 TR6 (I got some parts off eBay cheap). The original 18ACR alternator I took out has the same connections your

- Hi Jeff, Thanks for the quick response! I just measured from the regulator input spade to ground and got an open circuit (over a mega-ohm) to ground. When I plugged in the output wire and field suppl

- Sounds to me like you are doing a bang up job of tracking this down. 290mA is too much, so I would say your alternator has a problem. Pull it from the car and take it to an auto electric shop for te

- Hey again list, Does anyone know what sort of current is flowing through the battery with the key off in an 'electrically healthy' 1974 TR6. 5-10mA? What is normal? Thanks guys! Kendall

- If we were to assume my 1976 is Ok it seems to be,,,,,, And that I did do a little checking around and was told that my 10.5ma draw was still good and up to 20mA was high but ok for a Lucas.... Bob

- Hey again list, I changed out the regulator in the alternator today. That fixed the serious current draw problem I had. 320mA is now down to 22mA or so. 22mA is still higher than I'd like, but not en
