Mike, hello and welcome. For printed advice, I have only seen some in the "Guide to Purchase and Restoration of the MGB", which should be essentially the same procedure. I don't have your e-mail address, so if you want the info, just send me an e-mail and I'll scan the relevant pages and get them off to you in a reply.

Mike,
The conversion from Positive to Negative ground is really very simple to do. Besides switching battery terminals, you also switch the wires on the coil, redo the polarity on the generator and converting the tach. Basicly thats it. Sometimes the heater fan motor requires reversal of it's leads. Everything else remains the same. A written guide for converting can be found at https://www.mgcars.org.uk/midgetspriteclub/sprite/spriteposneg.htm
