Default Capri Firewall Holes

This should be an easy one for the experts. I have been working on my Capri and most of the services have gone through the firewall. I think I only still need to pass through:
  1. Speedo
  2. Main wiring loom

The problem is I have no idea what goes where and there's certainly more than two holes left in the firewall. Can anyone shed some light on what these holes are for?

I want to start wiring up the car but I can't until I am 100% sure where the main loom goes.

Any help much appreciated!

A. ??
B. ??
C. ??
D. Speedo??
E. (Beside steering column) - Main wiring loom?

An original v6 will have an automatic choke - uses a 40 mm weber -6so it shouldn't have a hole drilled

Hi Aether,

Where did you buy your clutch cable? Just before I order one from Burton's.
