Nor-Cal '73 Swinger

Got some good news today. Stopped by the body shop at lunch to drop off the dissasembled dash & the owner of the shop was inside the Dart with a flashlight. He said, "Look at this..." He went & got a bucket of water & dumped it down the cowl & had me focus on where the radio antenna comes in behind the kick panel. Sure enough... there was my leak. not at the cowl as I had been fearing.

Apparently, the little old lady who owned the car before me had run an aftermarket stereo & she ran the wiring around the grommet sealing the the antenna wire, breaking the seal & as the water leaked out of the cowl drain, ran right down the antenna and into the cab, Freakin old ladies & there second rate aftermarket wiring ideas. Cut the extra wire & just need a new gasket for the antenna to kick panel area & leak is gone!
