Default 99 TA, need help running power from engine bay to interior

I am trying to find a place to run a Tach signal wire, constant +12, and a switched +12. Where is the best place to run the wires from the engine bay to the interior?

I ran wires through the firewall on the driver's side of the steering column under the brake power booster. Just drill hole from the inside. You will have to cut through the plastic on the inside so you can get a grommet in the hole on the firewall.

I am trying to avoid drilling a new hole. A friend told me to just remove the computer, and there is a grommet behind it that the computer wires feed through. I'm working on that, but the red plastic on the computer cable plug broke, so I'm gluing that back together right now.

That's where I run my power wire through!

Wow, the grommet behind the computer has a ton of room. I should have no problem fitting 2 or 3 4ga wires in there when I run wires for amps.

I am going to leave a fish wire in there for now.
