Water Leak '69 142 140-160 1969

Does anybody know what the most likely place rainwater would be entering my '69 142. A good amount collects in the body space that runs under the door on the passenger side and I can only drain it by removing the body plugs and syphoning the water out. I know the 1800 has drain hoses from the air intake that can clog and cause leaking but where does the water that enters the air intake on the 140 drain to? Thanks

Yes, the water should drain out of the rocker panels. Clear the drains out from the underside, outside the car. Poke a dental pick or like instrument around in there 'til it gushes.
Best,
shayne
