Default 1977 corvette speedo cable routing

All-
i have an AIM manual, and I just can not seem to find the location at the firewall where the Speedo cable routes through. When I purchased my vette, the speedo and all related components were literally ripped out, so this has been an investigation for a while. I had the full dash ripped out to try to find it to no avail. Any ideas?

On page UPC 12J Sheet 5 W/O Cruise or the M20-M21 or M38-M40 transmissions or Sheet 5.1 W/Cruise you will see the speedometer cable (Shaft Asm) and grommet.
If you're missing the grommet Willcox Corvette should have it in stock.

Thank you so much for the quick reply. I did have the grommet. Didn’t fit right, but I will get it in the firewall somehow. I appreciate the fast response! The hole was hidden behind the fuse box and under cables in the engine compartment.
