We had an old Scout, I believe a 66. Posi front and rear. That thing could have climbed a telephone pole. As long as you didn't get the distributor wet,
Ain't that the truth. It's been years since I owned it and I'd forgotten about that. Spash any water under the hood and it died. That was about the only thing that would stop it though. I bought the 12" wide, 33" tall tires for it and took it to a body shop to get the fenders cut so they would fit and the 1st thing they told me was that the 4 cyl wouldn't turn them. I just opened the hood and showed them the 392. With that much power in a small package I got a lot of calls to pull others out of mud holes back then.
Yeah, I had one Jeep Wagoneer ('66) that would start to miss on a cloudy day and quit if I so much as pointed it at a mud puddle. A much newer YJ wasn't much better but grease and silicone helped. Another Wagoneer, a V-8, would actually show a blue ring on the hood, above the distributor, on a rainy night. Ran OK though. GD
