I posted this query earlier but failed to get a response. Unfortunately, my understanding of the issue hasn't improved since the original post, so i'm trying again with different wording.
For you -8/-8A folks out there, how did you determine the final location for the firewall engine control cable holes? Vans instructions are really vague - and after my experience strictly following their fuel system instructions (placed the fuel boost pump IAW their fus plans; drilled the fuel line firewall hole IAW their firewall forward plans - and discovered I needed a tight "S" tube bend to get 'em aligned - shoulda caught it before drilling, but life is harder when you're stupid) - I'm hesitant to use their "Typical" measurements shown on drawing 21.
