Not really either one, it's more like over the rod and lever. IOW it stays
above the level of the rod until it gets farther to the right of the car than
the throttle link to the carbs. It makes a wide curve downwards, through the
area where the steering column would be if it was a RHD car and passes fairly
close to the inner fender.

Yes, inside the frame rail. There's a clip in that area, ISTR the clip is
mounted into the side of the frame rail.

My original cable had chafed so far into the steel housing that it broke ... I
slit a length of fuel line to add extra protection to the replacement where it
goes through the handbrake hole.

The speedo cable goes through the extreme rear of the handbrake lever opening.
That's what that funny section on the back of the handbrake lever boot is for !
That puts the speedo cable well above the handbrake cable.
Be sure to try to keep all the curves as gentle as possible, for best cable
life.
