I've got an 87 Lx Vert 5.0 and I've got some shinny new gauges to install.
I'm going to fab up a tripple pod for my center dash vents.
I need to route the tubing for both the Mech oil pressure and Mech water temp gauges.
I've only got 6' to work with.
Where is the best spot to go through the bulkhead for these lines?

Thanks in advance guys!!

Find a rubber gromet in your fire-wall and route it through that.

I don't have any open grommets in the bulkhead.
I also will not route them through the steering boot.

I know you guys have done this, (tastefully) so please let me know what the trick is.
If I need to pull the dash to do this correctly then I will.

Thanks in advance again.

I ran mine through the speedo cable grommet, worked fine for me.

same here, or poke a hole with a sharp pocket knife through a rummer grommet that a bunch of wires pass through..as you sit in the car there should be one to your left, left of the steering column in that area, you can poke it through from under the hood then find it under the dash
