Speedo cable routing

[Vernsmith]

Not sure if cable comes up in engine well then through fire wall or up through floor above transmission. If fire wall, did it have its own hole or come through with wiring?

What year car?  Columbia rear end?  Early model rear end with 15+ foot speedo cable or the latter model with great box on firewall?

My 41 Continental  speedometer cable starts at the transmission then goes forward to the drivers side of the frame, under the frame then upward behind the drivers side fender look around and there will be a one inch hole there. That end of the cable goes through that hole then is routed between the body sheet metal and another piece of sheet metal bracing. Once the cable exits this area, it can be pulled up and routed to the speedometer. This is how my 41 is, not knowing what your car is, it may be different.

I forgot to mention the cable comes from the transmittion but, my car has theX frame so I had to route through that, all,else them same in  my previous post.
