My high tech coat hanger tool gets excited when hearing about these firewall threads. :pickme:
I bet it's not as cool as my custom sweat-pants-shorts-&-hoodie re-stringing wire-of-wonder!

So, since nobody else cares to illustrate or elaborate in the name of the greater good, I'll do it.

After removing the cowl trim and left side drainage tube, the clutch master cylinder hydraulic feed line is staring you in the face. This is the same spot we all utilized in the AT version to puncture the liner with a screwdriver and run whatever wires, hoses, or urinary catheters we want into the engine bay.

I weaseled the screwdriver in from the outside just as a "feeler" for how much room I have, or more accurately, DON'T HAVE, as we're going to cram the wire through along the hose.

So, as the other guy suggested, the best way is to take and fold the wire over the end of a flatblade screwdriver, and firmly push it through from the underside of the dash. Here's a pro tip: Using some kind of lubricant will make it ten times easier, and lower the risk of damaging the wire or connector. I used this stuff, which has a name that sounds like a sex jelly.

..and here's the deed in action...

..and now we're prairie-dogging through the bunghole..

After giving it a further shove, enough came through in order for you to grab it with a small pliers and firmly pull the connector through. Pull in the slack, and viola! We can actually sleep at night knowing that we didn't run the wire externally past the door.

Lastly, I don't know why "short" (5' 10" or less) guys are so grouchy, because I'd never be able to do this if I was over six feet tall. ;)

Now it's time to get that @Jesse DaBears tune and blast into space!
Great job 👏🏼 RT! @Jesse DaBears will make you silly fast. It was more than I was expecting. Guess that’s what you get when you ask one of the fastest drag guys to set you up, lol.

Y’all got me curious now how mine is set up. Since I paid my local Fuzzy mechanic to install my JB4.
