Five hole firewall grommet for 32 car (FS #RW-268).
Can anyone tell me what wires and cables go through this grommet and the correct placement left to right? I think it is for throttle and choke cables and oil and temp lines. Other?
Also: Firewall locations for electrolock cable, vacuum line etc?
A picture of correct firewall would be great. I have tried to find examples on various web sits but no luck. Too many hotrods etc. Thanks.

Any advice on how to insert the water temp and oil pressure lines through the 5 hole grommet?
Oil line removes from the gauge, but is the the water temp wire removable also?

The grommet has a slit at each hole so can be bent open to permit insertion of the line or cable. The line or cable also needs to be put through the metal surround. Both are necessary before they are screwed onto the firewall. I position the grommet so the slits are down.


How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!
