where to drill?

I have a manual choke on my truck. I went out and bought a manual choke cable. Only problem is I dont know exactly where to drill the hole in the firewall. I need to make it into the cab, but I dont wanna hit anything important, and I dont want to do trial and error with a small drill bit to find the right place. Anyone have an idea? Next to the distibutor, heater hoses etc?

When I put the manual choke on my 1986, I just ran the cable over to an existing grommet about 6 inches away from the fuse block. No hassle install, that's for sure!

Tom:
Previous owner put manual choke on my truck. Most of the stuff is still there. I'll check and see where it goes through the wall and let you know.

mine went through the firewall right behind the distributor, and mounted under the radio

Mine was run the same exact way as Jeremys. It mounted to the bottom right dash bezel hole, just under the radio.
