Question Firewall

I am trying to find a place to put a hole in my firewall.I saw something on the drivers side that goes into the firewall but i dont want to poke a hole in it untill i know what it is.It has a hose and then it goes into a little rubber box type thing that is flexible.I dont have a camera to take a pic but if there are any other holes in the firewall that come out on the drivers side please tell me where its at
Thanks
Aaron

There are large wiring harnesses on both sides of the car. (ECU on the passenger side, Fusebox on the driver's side.) The harnesses are surrounded by a rubber grommet.

When running amp wires, I usually use a screwdriver to poke a hole in the rubber grommet (carefully) and feed the wire through.

With a wire as thin as yours, you may be able to snake it in along side of the stock harness without punching a hole...

The harness is near the clutch master cylinder, close to the fender. It should be easy to see.

There is a grommet just sitting there right above the Brake Master. Use that.

The choke cable goes through in that area and it's roomy enough for what you're suggesting. Surely you can find that.
