Went for a bit of a drive today...

I went for a bit of a drive and ended up having a bit of a play round in a stream, was good fun. hope you enjoy...

"If it ain't v8, take it back"
I returned to Wales last week and explored, with permission a 78 Acre forest. Great fun was had by all. The Stage One as always was excellent if a little long. To prevent me trashing the V8 a friend and I have joined bank accounts and purchased a 90 between us. No matter how hard we tried it refused to break...

water proofing
the location of the dizzy is a pain, but yeah no jokes, a rubber glove stretched over the top of the dizzy with the fingers cut off for the leads, and some electrical tape to help it out. It's not a permanent fix but i dont end up driving all that much through rivers.
I use lots of CRC on the plugs, take the lead off spray some on and put them back on, and it seems to do alright.
How about you guys, what steps do you take???

"If it ain't v8, take it back"
Similar idea to the link I posted here. I have an edis-8 unit in the garage that I will eventually set up with megajolt.
I purchased from one of the Shows a rubber 9 fingered glove. it's made from very thick rubber and does an excellent job of waterproofing the Dizzy. I also have a coil glove as well. One important thing is to keep the air induction system as per factory. Many people strip it down and bolt K&n filters to the air intakes. The Main airbox has a drain and a high up air intake to prevent hydraulicing. One thing I found out to my expense is that you cannot run suppressed leads and suppressed plugs at the same time, the V8 will tick over fine but will not rev. That cost me a garage bill to work that out.
Below is a link on this site showing you how well it works

Went back to the same place on Sunday, up the river, this time with some company.
Got a little more adventurous and ended up having to be pulled out by a Hilux and Pajero, when I got into a soft spot in the river bed.
cheers,
gary
