When I installed cruise in my 87 Syncro I routed the cable from the throttle
forward & toward the passenger side so that it came near the firewall.  Near
that point I installed a large bracket on the top/left engine/transmission
bolt so that I would have something to anchor the cable to.  You should be
able to find something suitable at the hardware store to make a bracket from.

left tail light.
