Proper chassis grounding

I got my hands on an old school capacitor analyzer. The problem is that it has a 2 wire non polarized mains cord. I got tired of getting zapped by plugging it in the wrong way and touching the metal chassis so I added a a 3 prong plug with the ground going to the case. I have the hot wire on the fused/switched side of the transformer. Now it trips the GFI and on non GFI circuits it's blowing the unit's fuse. BTW it's an Olson TE-189. Any Ideas?:cry:
