1985 Defender 90 V8 Petrol SW Auto Portofino Red

Puma dash wiring question

All:

I have an ‘85 V8 Ninety that’s getting a full restoration soon, including a Puma dash & bulkhead. I already have a Puma dash, how easy is it to install the wiring harness? I have the air con blower for it, is that a different wiring harness? I will buy a new Puma bulkhead & have it galvanized, so I’m not really interested in buying a used Puma bulkhead with everything on it. The ninety will also get an LS engine if that makes any difference? Is there a good guide to how to wire one?

Thanks,

Paul.

Google has several hits on Pace Automotive. Which one?

Is there a tutorial/video/manual on how to do it?

Paul, do you have any Puma wiring loom yet?

Ok so you can either wire to what you have at the moment, or replace the existing dash loom with a Puma one. I suppose it depends on the state of your loom, how many of the switches you want to use and your budget.

For clarity, I have a Puma instrument pack controller (linked above) on the market which does the conversion from non-Puma engines.

I’d prefer to go with a stock loom. Extras will be air conditioning and some extra lights- 2 in front, 2 on the back.

I’m also going to use a Dakota Digital gauge pod, and an LS engine (LC9, 5.3 V8 with a 6-speed 6L80e automatic transmission).
