Water proofing motor

You guys have any tricks for waterproofing your engines?

You can run a snorkel from the air cleaner through the firewall to prevent water from getting in the engine, and silicone the distributor cap base to prevent water from getting inside the dizzy, then wrap the top of the cap and wires in an old inner tube or some other water proof material to shed water. Those are the ones I've seen and they do help.

We use to ice down the beer and wrap the ice bag around the distributor.
For the carb we made a new breather top that covered the filter on the front and sides.
Also made a rubber flap that bolted to the front bumper. It hanged down to the ground and fit between the tires. When in deep mud it would fold back and cover up the area between the radiator and engine.

For the distributor get the factory ford cover they used on lincolns in the 80's they work great and are easy to put on and take off as needed

Outrun the water, that's the easiest way!!!

Thanks Jim...I am not in any hurry for it. I have plenty of Wal-Mart bags. Let me know what you are going to need for it.

A thank you when you get it.

Thanks again Jim for the free boot and shipping. A couple weeks ago I did the same thing for someone...so I guess as the saying goes"what goes around comes around" is true.

The rubber boot will look way better than the plastic Wal-Mart shopping bags

Glad I could help you out yes I believe what goes around will come around help a brother or sister when you can and most of the time it comes back to us more times than we think
