Default FiTech Controller Cable Routing Question

This question is for those who have installed the FiTech 400 Street EFI system.
So I want to route the handheld Controller Cables from the engine compartment to the Interior. I do not particularly want to drill a new hole through the Firewall. How did you guys route the cable(s) to the interior. Inquiring minds want to know.

Thanks much.
Steve

I routed mine (600 power adder), with the battery feeds etc, through the speedo cable grommet - I run a GPS speedo now so no longer have a cable there, but I did when I installed it. I also extended my controller leads so that I could run them into the glove box, that was a bit of work though.

Default How I did it.

Used the existing stock grommet. Couldn't use the accelerator because it's a plate, on my '73 anyway.



Cut the interior out a little.


About as good as it's gonna get. Well maybe a dab of black RTV.
