I have an "approximately" 1973 Mini with 998cc engine and automatic transmission. When I turn the headlights on I can hardly get up my driveway. If I turn them off, it is like a nitro boost and I zip right up the hill. I have replaced the ground between the engine and the frame and I replaced the distributer wires. The battery starts the engine just fine but is is quite small (golf cart?). I had the alternator checked (at the battery because the shop didn't have the connections to bench test it) and he said that the voltage is right at the lower limits of what he would expect but it still passed. What is the best next step:
Thanks in advance for your wisdom.

- Buy a new battery?
- Keep looking for a ground issue?
- Replace the alternator?
- Drive up hills only during the daytime?
Thanks in advance for your wisdom.
