What kind of battery does a 1971 MGB Roadster have?

Can someone briefly explain (or direct me to a site which does) how to convert my 1971 mgb roadster to a single 12v battery. The principle is very straightforward, at the moment you have two 6volt batteries that are joined together by an interconnecting cable that effectively makes a 12volt battery.

How do you change a 12V battery in a MGB?

All you have to do is remove these batteries and replace it with one 12volt battery. My suggestion would be to put the single battery behind the driver so you can use the existing positive (+) battery cable to go to the new battery and either move the existing earth (-) cable to the other side or buy a new one.

How does the electrical system work on a MGB Roadster?

Practically every other circuit has a visual (lighting, gauges) or audible (heater fan) indication that something is happening, even if it is not to the correct level, and a voltmeter on the device terminals will show whether the full voltage is reaching it or not.

What was the horsepower of a MGB in 1969?

US specification cars saw power fall in 1968 with the introduction of emission standards and the use of air or smog pumps. In 1971 UK spec cars still had 95 bhp (71 kW) at 5,500 rpm, with 105 ft·lb (142 N·m) torque at 2500 rpm.
