I'm having some charging issues w/ my 86 Capri. I'm getting around 17v at roughly 3k rpm and it's boiling acid from the battery. I've replaced the alternator, and battery, but it has started again. Any ideas on what I need to check next? I checked the red/green wire that should be the ground in the alternator harness and got 7.9 ohms.
