A friend of mine has a 70 L78 Nova that was an old drag car. His Uncle is actually the original owner of the car and I personally know and have talked to him many times. Anyhow, he told me that he actually cut a hole in the firewall as to reach the distributor when he was seated in the car to play around with the timing just before going down the track. I have seen this on the car also..

From the pictures it looked like there is a hole for that...
Maybe it is just for the tach cable.. Thought there was some contraption set up to adjust the distributor from inside the car... Next time I see my friend's L78 I'll have to get pictures and post them of the firewall area. He covered the hole the best he could but you can still see where the hole was cut.. I have photos of the car and engine compartment but not close ups of the firewall area..
