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 ?

hey bud ive got the same conversion and i sealed up the 3 breather holes in the bottom of the dizzy and put in 1 fitting and ran it into the cab then used silicone on the cap works a treat, had it idling underwater on the w.e lol

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