Do you mean the trans tunnel?

Anyway, it goes through the firewall directly behind the speedo.

Have you got a hole there to poke it through?

I had this thread about about a month ago asking the same question:

Who knows?

I'd go and poke it into whichever hole gives you the straightest cable.

But then those are the words I live my life by...

well I found out something interesting today over on the Vintage mustang forum. The Placement of my speedo cable through the trans tunnel rather then the firewall is a GT thing. Well I will add that to my list of GT only things to look for the speedo cable . LOL learn something new about the Gt's every day

Maybe on 65-66s, but certainly not on 67 GT's.
