Where to pass battery cable through firewall, 4 speed car.

Ok, finally got a picture of where mine is routed, thought I had one but I guess not. Yeah, I know, it looks a little goofy. But if you run it straight up the rocker and straight out it exits into the wheel well, and if you run it higher up the firewall you still have to take it all the way back down to the starter. Routed like this it misses where the pedals hit the floor, is behind the pedals so it won't get stepped on, and exits the firewall very close to the starter. I'm sure there are better ways to accomplish it, I wanted to run it higher up the firewall on the inside, then over to the steering column and back down so it didn't transverse the floor that low, but I didn't have enough cable with my kit from Summit. And actually you'd have to go up pretty high to miss all the pedal interference. A few extra feet of cable would have made it easier.

I know it's been a good while since I asked this question, but thought I would update it since I finally got it installed just in case anyone cares. Yeah, I know I am slow.

I ended up drilling a hole a little to the right of where you did Blu:

On my car, there is a spot there that is angled to the rest of the floor that kept the bend smaller and it is just about pointed right at the starter lug.

It's well protected from the gas pedal and I ran the cable higher on the firewall so it wouldn't be under my feet. Seemed to work well. I will inspect the whole cable regularly just to avoid issues and see how it holds up over time.
