Man, after all that work. Have you changed the plugs? I used to have a big block 10.1 -1 comp, with an open K&N element breather sticking thru the hood (hill-jack dirt track style, cause thats what you do when you have a jigsaw and no money).
Used to drive in torrential spring rain storms with the four barrels open, hauling a$$ like a mad man for 50+ miles at a time, out on the open roads in the country, would do this repeatedly for a week or so during a rainy season..
Point is, it ate water like a ****, just guzzling it down. Usually a few days after ingesting all that water, the plugs would fail, regardless of how new they were. Irratic sputtering and miss-firing, popping out the tail pipe, practically failing to run.. Change of plugs solved it every time. Autolite coppers got er thru. 99 cent at each, at walmart back then.
