Good day folks, I am putting things back together on the 71 and I just need to know the routing for the speedo cable for an automatic. This is a lesson to all just tearing down, PICTURES, PICTURES, PICTURES, take them of everything I was sure I did but hey missed that one.
In my mind I see it running up the trans tunnel and angled up the the firewall under the heat shield, but looking at cars at cruise nights that doesn't appear to be the case.

Anyone have a picture?

Dave, when my car was still an automatic, I had the cable routed exactly as you described. You can kind of see the cable in this pic:
