Re: IML: '71 Imperial question...

Frank,

The dimple up and right of the speedometer cable on my car is level with the 
bulkhead connector.  Its also a straight shot to the cruise servo, so I'm 
going to punch a hole there.  From the size of the grommet, it appears that 
a 1 inch diameter hole would be correct ( I do want the grommet to fit 
snugly).  Thanks for your response!

Jim
