You pretty much are stuck using a pos. ground radio in a pos. ground car.
If you are determined to add modern sound equipment, converting to
negative ground is dead simple, except for the tach. The Moss catalog has
the procedure in one of those notes. My own experience would suggest it's
scarcely worth the trouble putting a stereo in a B since you can only
appreciate it when stationary, but perhaps a GT isn't quite as noisy.
IMO, YMMV

Runs great,
looks particularly bad since some SUV clown backed into it.
If you're near Mountain View, CA,
it's the red one with the silver bootlid.
