Question For those of you that've "tucked" your throttle cable

I've seen a few engine bays where the throttle cable has been routed underneath the intake manifold and TB. I was interested in doing this to clean things up a bit. Just wondering how people did it and how hard was it to do?

I'm confused... if you bolt it to the firewall it won't move with the engine like it would if it was attached to the motor?

on the firewall directly back from the bolt that is currently holding tour cable now. on the firewall towards the top of the cowl.it might be just a threaded hole but i am pretty sure there was a bolt there. just take a look u will find it once u look. and if u still cant find it after this description just close your hood and never open it again.

I tucked mine and cable tied it to the wire lume that goes across the back of the valve cover. It's an old pic but the only one I have.
