Doesn't sound right, at least for RHD. Up to 75 (roadster and V8) choke had
its own little hole quite high up on the firewall or firewall shelf pointing
upwards, whereas speedo hole is much lower and pointing downwards on top of
the RHD clutch foot rest.

Thanks for the input, Paul.
We looked at 4 MGs and every one had those two cables going into different
holes!
I believe you are right about the choke hole - unfortunately my MGC has 3
carbs and it won't QUITE reach the middle carb when you put it through that
hole.
I played about with the speedo cable and chose to run it across and down,
keeping it out of the way of everything else.
All the uncertainty makes me value the diagrams that Todd Clarke has
produced for MGAs! At least you know for sure where the factory ran things,
even if
you choose to do something else (the factory didn't always know best).
Took the MGC out for a drive, and the speedo now works, and took the MGA for
a short spin and the speedo doesn't work in it. Is there some speedo
epidemic, or am just lucky? ;-)
