Default Hood alarm switch wiring

Hi all,
I'm replacing the hood alarm switch on my 72 BB. It had been removed by the PO. What is the path of the white wire from the switch to under the dash, and where does it enter the firewall?
TIA

On my 69, there is a triangular indent behind the distributor and the white wire goes through a grommet along with a thin vacuum line.

I think I mislead you. Looks like I may have stuffed that wire in there after I rebuilt everything. Found this picture from before the rebuild and I never did do anything about the hood alarm switch, so I don't know what is right after all
