[Mgb-v8] Need Automotive electrical refernce guide

[David Schmidt]

I am transplanting to a 1973 MGB.

The alternator I have on the new engine can be setup as 2 wire or 1 wire.

It depends on what electrics the new engine will 
have, and what year you are transplanting it in to.  As far as the latter 
it could be as simple as two wires to the alternator and one to the 
coil.  Earlier MGBs had dynamos, remote sensing alternators, and multi-wire 
alternators. Later models had electric temp gauge, manifold heater, ballasted 
ignition and electronic ignition all of which involve extra wires from the body 
to the engine.

I am transplanting a 3.4l v6 into my MGB and just  need to make sure I am "doing it all correctly" as far as 
electrical.
