Re: Overheating battery (MGB)

Dan, my first guess is that you probably have a short.  Put your MGB on
jackstands & take a look under the car, passenger side just behind the
engine compartment.  The main wiring harness is tied to the fuel & brake
lines (if I remember & maybe the battery to starter wire) with metal
tie wraps.  After time they can rub through the wire insulation & short out
wires (Happened to mt '68 BGT last year).

Good luck finding your problem
