Hello everyone. My name is Mario and I am new to this forum. I am working on a 72' convertible right now and I am in the process of putting in a tachometer. My car only had the idiot lights before but I had it converted to a modern type tach. I was wondering where I can route the "signal" wire through the firewall. I could only see the speeedo grommit and that looked too tight to slip the wire through. Thanks in advance guys, Mario.

Post up some pics if you have them. I don't know about the tach wire but there's got to be a good solution. Someone will be along with some info. Good luck!

Welcome Mario. I have routed a couple of wires for my MSD through the grommet for the vacuum lines in the center of the firewall behind the engine.

Welcome to the site. Many years ago I ran an extra wire through the firewall for an AhhOogha horn. It seems like I ran it through an existing grommet. I'll try to take a look later and post up again.

::welcome::to the forum......why don't you run the wire along the main and through the firewall at that spot....you could get the harness tape and hide it in your main harness very nicely!
