Default Tube for starter wires?

74 T/A 455: Does someone have a close up picture of where the steel tube that the battery to starter cable and starter wires passes thru, should be mounted? I believe it mounts to the front of the Driver side cylinder head, maybe just a bit to the water pump side of the P.S. mount bracket? ? Looks tight down there and may have to remove alternator to get this tube mounted. Thanks all. Dave

Default Thx HFR

Thanks much but the picture still is not real clear to me. I looked thru my 1974 Service manual and it does not show any pic that I can find.

If you have the assembly manual, it's in section 12A-3 (both '73 and '74).

Another picture off my '73 engine.
