Tac cable question ...
I have a 71 and I can't find the tac cable to connect to the distributor, can someone post some pics of your engine bay showing the cable routing please.

Not the greatest pic but you get the idea
Goes to the base of the distributor on the drivers side

Forgot the other end
Comes out of the firewall at the grommet beside the throttle cable
You can see it hanging down in this pic, just behind the throttle cable, comes out of the hole with a bunch of wires there

Thank you sir, so like everything else on this car it's missing! Just noticed your location, I'm over in Whitby.

Yes I have the original tac drive distributor just don't see the cable anywhere, that's why I was asking where it comes through the fire wall. Thought maybe it might come through in an obscure location.
