It is possible to install a negative ground radio in your Alpine by
keeping it isolated from the car chassis (anything metal) and then hooking
the radio power wire to the chassis of the car and the chassis of the radio
to the car power source. You also need to make sure you do not get
any stray conections when installing the antenna or the speakers. It
is a good idea to put a diode bridge in the power lines to the radio
to prevent any damage if it is hooked up backwards.
The tach reading high when warmed up is a common problem. It can usually
be fixed by replacing a capacitor inside the tachometer. The Tiger
mail list just had a thread on this. I think it is on the Tiger web
page also. There is information in the TE/AE Sunbeam Survivor tech
tips as well.
