[DeTomaso] wiring harness routeing

[Mike Drew]

Joe,

I happen to be zipping around in Larry Stock’s shop today (on an airline layover) and got some pics for you. 

Here is a shot from the engine bay, looking down at the right rear corner of the firewall behind the passenger seat. There is an oval cutout on the top of the inner rocker that both the wiring harness and main battery cable pass through:

The metal bracket the harness is resting on is a homemade battery relocation bracket. 

The insulated oval hole in the firewall is for the AC hoses. This hole moved around a bit from one car to the next, and 1971 cars had hard metal pipes here for the HEATER pipes instead.  

Here is a photo from inside a different 1972 car showing the AC hoses as they route under the center console:
