Default Wires through Firewall on 1970?

New to Corvettes so please excuse what may be a simple question. I am installing a parking sensor and need to pull a wire through the firewall that has a .375 connector on the end. Where is the easiest way to get through the firewall on the drivers side? Picture would be helpful.

Thanks

under the steering column just above the gas pedal is a good size rubber grommet that were your oil line goes and other wires go threw you can see it from under hood so pop it out and put the threw 1 of the 4 little hose and pus it back into fire wall

Once you finish the install, make sure you use some of that black sealant goo to seal of any air leakage (not silicone...but the stuff used to seal A/C lines going thru the firewall).

Got it, wired it all up and tucked away the wires. Works like a champ!
