If that word was tach cable it goes thru the hole in a metal bolt on tab
attached to the solenoid. then straight thru the fire wall and over to
the tach. Remember these cars were designed for right hand drive, it
would have been a straight shot to the tach on RHD models.
If you were refering to starter cable, same thing, the starter knob
belongs on the right side of the dash, straight thru fire wall from
solenoid. The choke is a straight shot from the carbs.
Some pictures show them reversed but criss crossing the cables under the
dash or in front of the heater is NOT CORRECT! Common sense would tell
you that the more direct route a cable takes, the better it will work.
Again, the car was designed for RHD so the starter cable would be
nearest the driver in England.
