Thats the spot, sorry I thought it was rubber. That is where my gauges are sent through, and sealed with silicone. Let me go take another quick look. I think they are run just to the side of that plate through the seal. Some others may want to chime in as to where thiers are run.

I've got all the heater hoses and my big fancy brass T installed. I also made me a big hole for the temp gauge sender and wiring to go through. Y'all are going to die laughing when I post a pic of this nice big hole. I obviously have to fix air tight and shug everything up. Also, I'm going to try and use the other port by the stat that y'all recommended. It takes a Allen head to come out. Of course I don't hve the right size and I will need to buy some more extensions to be able to get to it. Is it just up to me how I arrange the wiring from sender all the way back to the firewall? A lot of zip ties will be needed probably?
