I depends on whether you have an angle-drive at the gearbox or not (originally
it seems all cars did).  If you do then it just lies alongside the gearbox
travelling forwards.  If not then it has to take a gentle curve away from the
side of the tailshaft before going forwards.  It can then go up through a hole
at the top of what is the rest for the clutch foot of RHD cars, see
http://www.mgb-stuff.org.uk/images/vent3.jpg, it is the near vertical cable
entering the cabin between the heater vent and the steering column.  LHD cars
with this arrangement probably should have a second angle drive on the back of
the speedo to allow the cable to pass across the back of the dash without a
tight bend, but some LHD cars probably have the cable entering the cabin on
the left-hand i.e. speedo side so don't need this for the same reason RHD cars
don't.

  Where does it pass through the body shell into the passenger compartment?
