Yup, the distributor is a bigger problem than the intake. I have a VG30i in my WD21, and I've stalled the thing in water at headlight level. As soon as the mechanical fan hits water, it soaks the entire engine, including the distributor that's right at the front.

The V6s don't have this?



Obviously it wont do much for DEEP DEEP stuff, but it'd help with what you're talking about...

With the many times I've seen engines get deep enough to take on water, the intakes have always been the issue. They hydrolocked and stalled. The ignitions, at least from what I've seen have rarely been the problem.

On my pathy, I ran a thin bead of RTV around the dist cap to seal it up. have had the nose of the truck underwater. With the snorkel in place I have not stalled it once in water.

My biggest problem has been quicksand lately.. snorkels and RTV dont help much with that.

you can buy dizzy condoms for the hardbody.

That left a funny image in my head
