The speedo cable hole/boot/gromet was what I was going to suggest. The whole itself is plenty big for more cable. You may be able to squeeze your power cable along side the speedo cable current hole in the boot/gromet. If you can avoid taking that boot/gromet out do it...real pain in the butt to get back in properly. I would also feed your power wire (tape about a 3 inch stiff something to poke through)...feed from the outside (engine bay) in...then contort your body like some yoga dude under the dash and pedals, find it and pull. Good luck.

Thanks for the help guys, Im just having the problem of not knowing where exactly to run the cable through from the engine bay? the thing is the cable is already run from the back of my car, so it would be going OUT through TO the engine bay, Anyone have any pictures or a REALLY detailed description? GREATLY appreciated!!!

This is where i drilled. You can see where it came out in the engine bay. It's 4 gauge wire going from my battery to my trunk.

Hey thanks man, but when I just checked mine is set up differently being a 1989, that top left corner of the engine bay doesnt look like yours


Im not too great with cars, there is a resavoir where you drilled your whole through, im guessing clutch fluid since mine is standard transmission?

I cant seem to find ANY holes in the firewell or any space ANYWHERE to even attempt a hole.

This is killing me, I definitely dont want to drill in the wrong spot but I cant even find a spot TO drill!

I drilled mine in the top right if you were standing in front of the car as the viewpoint. It shouldnt be that different.

You could take the scenic route and go through where all of the ac components go through as well. If you were so inclined.
