I still maintain that it isn't much work, on the B an hour or two MAX.
Everything that needs to be changed has clean, easy access. The battery
terminals might be a hassle, but they likely need to be cleaned anyway. The
tach work, including remove and replace, opening it up, cleaning it while you
are there, etc etc, is 1/2 hour to an hour. Add a beer break, polish the
windscreen while you're there, and it is still a quick easy job....after all
most of us LIKE to work on the car when it is for an improvement, not an
expensive repair.
The best thing is that when you are done, no one can tell. No extra wires, no
little box, just a negative ground car and a radio that works.
IMHO, that is worth a couple hours of time, and as a bonus, when you are done
, you have that sense on accomplishment you don't get from just throwing
money at a problem. (except for goverment folks, I suppose) Besides, by the
time you trot down to radio shaft (oops, freudian slip :-) ) bring the
thing home, install and wire it, you could be most of the way through doing
it for free!
Just how I see it....
