How to waterproof a distributer cap?

    The story is that I was at RC and tried to wheel through the frog hole. The Prob was the distributer had submerged and filled with water and mud. I took almost an hour to get the jeep running. Any suggestions to solve this.

    a better solution might be to heed your trail guide's warnings and not submerge your jeep! :razz:

    WD40? I usually soak everything with WD40 before I hit any mud.

    You can buy non-hardening weather proofing caulking chord.. Its like a clay, seals but does not dry out, so its easily removed..
