On my 56 F100 (not stock) I purchased a new cable to connect to the C4 trans and routed it with the emergency cable that comes into the cab at the front left side of the removeable trans cover. I used black wire ties to hold it in place with the emerg. cable until it goes up to the speedo. Don't know if this helps you or not but another way to route maybe.

Hey Aw

Mine comes from the speedometer,thru the top of the firewall, thru a clip mounted about top center of the fire wall, down to a clip under the frame, to trans.
