Well you are limited to only a few options.
You have to run it in the hinge point somwhere.
You could follow the route of the vacuum line
and move to the inside at the hinge.
Or, you could run the wire inside the vacuum line.
you would probably have to remove the tube insert the wire then
reinstall. You might be able to fish it with a bit of yellow 77
(or dish soap).

My hinge bolt tube was completly bent and plugged. I drilled the whole thing out using a 3/8" bit. Was going to bend up some brake line metal tubes to pass the wire thru but I'll have to go search for a photo to know how to make the bends correctly out of the hinge hole. The rest I could try to use the existing or make new. With the rebuild fuel pump and good vac I was going to get the wipers rebuilt but figured for safety, we'd go electric 24v. Any photos out there of the hinge tube?
