Underneath, if your sitting in the driver position with the box to your right, it's on the right side, halfway underneath, just slightly forward (but below) of the gear stick.
Let me know if you need a pic.
If you look down the Right side of the shifter boot hole its at about five oclock . Almost out of site facing to 11oclock. you will need small hands to put it on if its already in the car.
try and route the cable angle as shallow as possile as it could bind.
Thanks Guys...Speedometer cable is in the car and routed into the speedo. It would have been much easier to have done it ahead of time but...the job is done.
Next step is to put the fluids in the car, hook up the electrics to the distributor and see if the engine goes VROOM!---that's tomorrow. Now it time to an English Dark Ale...a Hobgoblin.
Yes, back-up lights.
There are two on the tranny, and three on the Midget, so I guess I'll go without.
I'm really tempted to remove the upper fron valence to get a shallower angle.
Keep us posted on the start-up!
On the Datsun trans you should have three switchs; one for backups, one for neutral switch and one for 4th gear. The only one that you MUST remove is the backup one (naturally).

Tight is an understatement.
I had to bend the area beneath the heater, the tunnel just aft of the gear lever, and getting those gearbox mounting bolts in was just a plain nightmare.
It's over now, all in, nothing rubs anymore, and beer was drunk.
I put my trans & engine in a few months ago so I forgot some of the parts of that nightmare. You reminded me of what a gigantic PITA it was. Glad to hear you're done.

I've got a Datsun transmission along with my Nissan motor.
No speedo cable installed.
Are you guys using the MG cable or a different cable?
It would be nice to get my speedo connected.
Any help would be appreciated.
The Rivergate lit includes a new custome cable with right angle drive. At least mine did but I asked for the whole Enchilada. They do sell those items seperately and if I recall it was only like another $125 for the rt angle and new longer cable.
Yeah, I used the engine lift, to gently persuade it away from the yoke.
I'm not ~that~ far over, but enough that is was grinding the yoke when pushing it.
Thanks Trevor, I feel better about that then.
