water in GTV air vents

["Andrew Watry"<andrew.watry@xxxxxxxxxx>]

     Per Bruce's experience, my 74 GTV also once showered my son in the 
     front passenger seat with formerly standing water from the air vent 
     once we got up to freeway speed (on the freeway).  He thought it was 
     hilarious.  I checked into it, and my cowl area drain was not blocked; 
     I poured water into that area with a hose and it properly flowed out 
     the drain pipe onto the ground in front of the firewall.  I think 
     there is a bit of an unanticipated design problem here.  When the car 
     is sitting flat, the air vent intakes are higher than the drain, and 
     water drains out just fine.  But when parked on a highly crowned road, 
     as mine was at the time, the curb-side (lower) air vent intake was 
     lower than the drain inlet, in essence becoming the drain itself. 
     Parking on the flat seemed to solve the "problem" in my case.
