A few months ago I installed a JVC cassette/radio unit in my '74 260Z.
Everything went OK and I was very pleased with the sound, I did have a
problem listening to some of the weaker FM stations if there was any
metal around (parked close to lamp standards, overhead power lines or
other cars) but the closer FM stations came in loud and clear. Then last
week I put my car in for a service which included replacing the spark plugs,
distributor head and rotor arm. The trouble is that the radio now suffers
from interference all across the FM band, it varies from a soft clicking
sound when the engine is idling, to a high pitched squeal at about 3000 revs.
The interference stops completely when the engine is switched off.
I returned to the garage where the tune up was done but the mechanic said that
he had only used factory authorised parts and as the radio was non standard
he wasnt responsible for any effects his work had done.

Can anyone suggest what is wrong with the new set up and how it can be fixed?
