I know its an age old problem but has anyone found any way of stopping water getting on the Dist cap & ht leads on a V8. I already have the rubber cap on the Dist cap & coil. Also does anyone know if you can get a snorkle kit for a Discovery 1 carb model.

You can buy an 9 fingered rubber glove for the dizzy & leads, there is also an MOD guide to waterproofing petrol engines. the link can be found in my Font of all knowledge. Here http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f38/redhands-font-all-knowledge-49188-2.html

I heard somewhere you can drill a small hole in the dizzy and fit an air hose connected to a fish tank air pump, puts positive air presure in the cap.

Never done it though.. cos mines a doozel

I've seen something similar but using a coke bottle, a rubber sheet & a compressor bit of a Diving bell type contraption.

the other way to the one above is to silicon seal the dizzy cap down and run a vac hose from the inlet to the cap it sucks out any condensation (the normal cause of misfires once the ht leads have been waterproofed)
