P2 choke cable

Where does it come through the firewall?  Ours is routed through the grommet with the throttle, vacuum and drain line.  But I can't seem to find that grommet anywhere so it has me wandering if that is not the correct location??

It does pass through that oval grommet on the far right side.   My Dodge only had 3 holes in the grommet; choke cable, cowl vent drain and vacuum hose to the carb for the wipers. On the Dodges , the throttle cable goes through the lower grommet. Here's a pic, but not of my car. Plymouths may be set up a little differently.

We have those same two grommets.  Right now we have:

 

One: throttle; choke; drain; vacuum

Two: oil pressure; speedometer; water temp

 

 

Where exactly is your throttle cable?

It's mounted just to the right of the instrument panel near the bottom of the dash. There is no choke control on the Dodge as it had an automatic choke, So, depending on where your choke cable is mounted, I would route it through the grommet that gives the best free action to the carb. I errored on the choke cable comment in the previous post.

Yeah it's kind of at the best location as is, no one makes the grommet though.  I did find a blank one that I can drill my own holes in, so that should work.

Sounds like a plan, although, they can be a little difficult to drill. Good luck! With these cars, ya' gotta' do what ya' gotta' do!

Yeah, I've used a hole saw on one before, but it was a different compound.  I'm going to try holding it in a drill vise and using the press, and maybe some WD-40 to keep it cool.  The last one I did started to melt!

If you drill with a very slow speed drill it should help prevent the melting.

You might have better luck using hole punches, or taking a piece of small tubing, sharpening one end and use it in the drill press rather than the bits. Bits tend to grab and tear where a smooth sharp edge should cut better. Like the sharp disc blades for cutting hose.
