Take a look at BillM's DIN gauge install writeup, I think he covers the firewall grommet feedthrough technique pretty well https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/din-panel-gauges-577232/. Other options are to put it through the ECU harness grommet or drill a hole (not very desirable).

Did you look at what I suggested at all? BillM's guide has pictures and should clear this up for you. If not, you might want to get a friend of yours who knows something about cars in general to show you, because HDP makes a good point.

The grommet is that rubber thing around the steering shaft. Poke a hole in it and use the coathanger/electrical tape method
