Done, 7/8" hole for tach wire. 1" hole for CC harness.

Firestone 7.75 14 from Coker Tire.

And since I had the one Charger out and I am going to be putting the other in storage so I can begin a restoration on a 1938 Buick Roadmaster model 87 (one of 6 left know to exist of 466 produced) I decided to get these since I had yet to photograph them together.

Updates on above. I swapped the repro gauge for an OEM and she reads correctly now. I really tightened the box and drove it today after that significant tightening. It's better but still has too much play in my opinion plus I think the box is leaking. I believe I am going to swap it out. No...

so does the unrestored one if you look closely.

yes, inconclusive, as were a few other sources.

in 69 there was a vacuum hose from the CC to the brake switch. in 70 it changed and there was no hose through the firewall

most of the photos in those threads show the tach wire coming through at the red circle best I can tell. Something is coming through at the green circle but I cant really tell, thus I am led to believe it is the CC wiring.

So I'm thinking I need to move the tach wire from the green circle to red. Then cruise wiring should come through at green. Finally vacuum hose at blue using the grommet in the second photo, does that seem correct?

had seen this one, hadn't seen the others. This is helpful. Thank you

Hi all, I've secured a factory cruise setup with all the wiring and hoses etc. Can anyone guide me on the two correct firewall penetration locations. One for the wiring harness (I have the grommet) and one for the vacuum tube between the servo and the brake switch (I don't have the grommet it...

I don't check the site often anymore, but came back today for an unrelated reason and saw the response. I put a shut-valve in the heater hose and called it a day. I do appreciate the response. I might take another stab at it someday.

So couple things I could use some advice on after the drive home. Water temp gauge is not calibrated to reality. Realized this prior to leaving to it ran hotter on the gauge than it did on the way there. It shows 230 on the gauge mostly, sometimes 240. Was showing 230 when I got home but laser...

I posted this else where but I drove the 69 to the Greenbrier Concours with the family. No Ribbons but had a great time. There was a 68 accepted as well. When I got there and was trying to find out where to park overnight. I was told I should park in my trailer. They were quite surprised...

Wow thanks all! For my birthday I drove my 69 to the Greenbrier Concours with the family. No Ribbons but had a great time. There was a 68 accepted as well. When I got there and was trying to find out where to park overnight. I was told I should park in my trailer. They were quite...
