The second photo shows the location of the drain nipple in the engine compartment and the third photo shows the drain nipple without the drill bit. I am surprised this feature was not included in the 1940 models being discussed.
Note there is a hose bead on this nipple, which seems to indicate that a hose may have been installed originally to drain the water away from the engine.

Hi Zeke, I had a '37 Ford coupe many-many years ago, and I remember
replacing that worn-out cowl gasket ,to stop the water from leaking in.
There was NO little drain like you show. The NEW gasket solved the leak.
