Father-Son 1974 Duster Project

Also, there is a drain that goes into the engine compartment from that takes care of any water that gets into the fresh air intake within the cowl. At least there is one on my '74 AC equipped car. It comes out of the bottom of the AC box, and I guess it takes care of the AC condensate too.

I had to look at out pictures of the engine bay when it was empty. No drain like you show on mine..and it isn't an aircon equipped car.

I think the splash shield route will be best way to go..I think with my MG, you could shove a wire down through the fresh air inlet directly into the drain pipe .

Thanks
