Hey i'm doing a tach install....no problems getting it running...but now i'm trying to route the wires for a nice clean install...how would you suggest running the wires from the coils through the fire wall....i can find no obvious holes...and where the big bundle of wires already goes through there is like this impenatrable rubber boot thing...i could drill a hole but if the wires rub on the sharp edges that'll be a headache down the road...any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks
Dave

by the way its a 96

your "impenetrable rubber boot" in your firewall is the answer.. if you are overly worried about the wires rubbing then you could wrap the part of the wire going thru the firewall in electrical tape or something but you shouldnt need to its usually never a problem.
