Sealing the holden 5 litre distributor against water

Post by smee2u »

G'day,
Have gone and put a 355 stroker in the GQ nissan mid wheel base and want to know peoples ideas on sealing the distributor against water ingress. I have considered just running a sealant around the dizzy cap to help seal. Have also considered running a few PSI of air into the cap when doing deep water crossings. Pros or cons of each ?
Are there any other gems out there that people might want to share ?

How did you seal the original breather holes Kegz and where did you tap in to create the new breather ?
