Fixed my water crossing problem

I had a bad experience a couple of weeks ago with a creek crossing on the family farm. I have had my CJ5 in pretty deep water before (half way up the grill) and never really had the first inclination that it wanted to quit. BUT last trip to the farm it stalled instantly on entering a creek. It did it every time we hit the water. I got it out got it started and got back to the house where a little bit of investigation with the hose showed that the distributor was the problem area. If I got anywhere near it with the hose, the engine quit.

Following the advice presented here, I got a new cap and rotor (No idea how long the old ones had been on there.) and applied dielectric grease to the sockets on both ends of all the spark plug wires. I also smeared some around the points window, but didn't do anything to seal up the bottom. When I was finished, it started right up , and I ran the hose aimed right at the distributor for 4 or 5 minutes and it never skipped.

It could still flood from the bottom, I guess, but I wan't trying to make it a submarine, just waterproof enough to get around the farm. (I do need to drain the front diff which got water in it while I was stalled out in the creek. Diff oil's got that good chocolate milk look now.)
