Choke cable mounting & routing

Was wondering where any of you may have mounted a manual choke cable **** in the driver's compartment, and how you routed the cable into the engine compartment. No need to reinvent the wheel, I say.

I'd like to put it in a place that doesn't require removing the whole cable should I decide to pull the dash, console, etc. I'm thinking mounting it on the side of the console up by the heater controls, assuming the console wall will support the screws, and there's some way to route it into the engine compartment from there.

This is in anticipation of swapping over to the 6210 Holley. I'm still on the fence whether to try to external TPS and retain the ESC, or just go ahead and do the old-school HEI. The external TPS would probably be cheaper, if it would work, but old-school would be easier (other than TCC lock-up).

I've given up on electric choke, since the GMPP intake doesn't have a choke pad on it. I'm also considering an RPM spreadbore intake while I'm at it. I was thinking it did have the divorced choke pad on it, but not completely sure. If so, it would make this discussion moot.

run it to the heater controls area and mount it there with a bracket, shouldn't take more than 30 minutes total to run the cable. sometimes it's hidden under the guage cluster on that lower panel as well.

I got out-bid on a Performer RPM q-jet manifold (I'm not buying new). So, the choke cable is still the likely route if I go through with this.
