I just installed an Autometer oil gauge on mine, and I found that if you want to go through the firewall on the driver's side there is a nice easy hole with grommetfor the hood release, just above the brake pedal.

I usually use a screwdriver and tape the wire to it and get someone to push it through while I grab it
