The throttle cable is above that next to the bulkhead connector. Is it a cruise control car? Looks like a cable of some sort. The hood release is on the other side of the brake booster/master. Correct, the throttle pedal lever is longer{higher up} than the hole in question..That hole is actually behind the throttle lever in action on the inside...

What does it go to inside the car ???
Nothing I love more than when someone repaints the engine compartment and leaves everything that wasn't there originally in place ... ugh

What does it go to inside the car ??? Unfortunately, I can't get inside the car right now. I'll check later today, I just thought someone might know. I'm guessing it's something to do with cruise control. I'll post it when I find out. Nothing I love more than when someone repaints the engine compartment and leaves everything that wasn't there originally in place ... ugh Yeah, bugs me too. My engine's currently out, so I'm going to try to clean up what I can.

Ok, got inside the car. Unfortunately, whomever removed it very crudely hacked it off inside. It's right above the accelerator pedal bracket, an electrical cable of some sort, still can't tell what it is:

Hi all,
1971 Satellite. Something else that a previous owner hacked off. This is coming thru the firewall, below the bulkhead connector. I haven't been able to find it in the manuals I have, and can't get into the interior of the car right now to see where it's coming from. Any ideas?
Roger I have the same grommet on my 68 GTS. It's the tach wire.

Pull grommet out. Carefully pull remaining wire stub out. If its for the tach, the wire should be grey.

I looked at a wiring diagram and the tach wire goes through the firewall via the bulkhead connector and yes, its a gray wire. 69 and earlier had a grommet/wire that went through the firewall and it was gray.

I stripped some of the outer casing away, and there are 3 wires: Black, Green and Red. Looking at the wiring diagrams on pages 8-152 & 153, I don't see anything that matches. They also look like they're cloth-wrapped.

That's some big gauge wire. Was the car a service vehicle in a previous life? Not that I know of.

Pages 8-152 & 153 are for Challenger (Rallye cluster). I think you want to be back at 8-165. Oops! yours might be different in a Plymouth manual. Mine is for the Dodge. Never the less..... It should be the same for '71 B-bodies.

It should be the same for '71 B-bodies. Yeah, I'm using the 1971 Plymouth Chassis Manual, and those two pages contain the engine wiring diagram for Barracuda and Satellite.

That is definitely Cruise control wires! I took some pictures of mine. They are quite heavy gauge and reduce down to very light gauge inside the cabin after the connector and up the steering column. My originals had the canvas cover on them as well, that was deteriorated out near the servo, so I replaced with a harness off a '73 (the original had a red appearing wire) like yours, the '73 had different colors but that may have been just the way they aged. The FSM shows them to be yellow, black and dark blue but they appear to be yellow, black and green. here are some pics if I can do this right..... Thanks, I think we have a winner! Not sure why my wires are different color, but this looks like what it is. The only part that is still on the car is the turn-signal lever, and I'm not going to try to restore everything else. I'm already into enough work trying to replace all the under-hood components of the A/C system. Thanks, everyone!  Roger
