    Don't go through water?

    No, sorry leighscott - just had to say it. Seriously though, can you give more details on the issues you are experiencing when going through water - "electrical problems" is a pretty broad description...

    If you look back a couple of pages in the Classic section , this exact same topic was discussed a couple of weeks ago.
    That is if you are talking about engine stalling because of water , which is hard to tell from your post.

    Water in the distributor. Take the cap off and dry inside the cap and dissy with a hair dryer or a couple of hours of sunshine. Fit a deflector shield made of plastic between the fan and the dissy to prevent high speed water hitting the dissy. Fit new leads with tight fitting boots, put electrical tape around the dissy body before putting the cap back on, carefully so you don't crack it.
