The cowl is the part of a car body between the engine compartment and the dash face. The cowl includes the firewall, cowl top panel, and upper & lower dash panels -- but not the dash itself. For the Datsun 1200, the cowl is where fresh air for ventilation is drawn.

The water box is also known as the ventilation plenum. It is where air enters the cabin. The large oval hole in the center is for the heater (or ventilator). The cowl vents are located at the base of the windshield due to aerodynamic reasons.

Normally, rainwater goes in through the top through the Cowl vents and falls onto the topside of the Upper Dash panel. From there it runs out a vent hole on the outside of the panel near the guards (fenders).

Repairing Water Box

Water comes in though the vents behind the bonnet, then runs down to a hole that is there to let it out. If this is rusted, it will instead leak down onto the fenders.
