Most did. I converted my '74 B to a single Group 26 battery this summer.
Now in winter I've found that the single battery doesn't quite have the
cranking power that the duals did.  However, I'm also not driving the B as
much with the rain and all, so the fact that I'm averaging about one spin a
week might have a little to do with the battery not working as well as when
I'm driving everyday in warmer weather.
