Here are two figures from the Ford Service Bulletins page 329 and 411.

Keep in mind the diagram shows how to add the cowl lights to a vehicle that did not have factory cowl lights and it includes the installation of a switch A-13335 which is some what rare.

Fig. 825 page 411

I am not sure of the 30-31, but on my 29 the wire enters the cab through the junction box.

Here are three photos that show the wire entering the cowl on my 1931 68B, hope this solves the problem.

The pictures that 160B shows are how mine are run. There is also a wire that crosses over to the right side for the RH cowl light. There are 3 "L" brackets that hold this wire.
