Took a nice ride in the '35 Cabriolet yesterday with temps in the 90s. While returning home I encountered a tremendous rain storm. I was just 5 minutes from home when the car started to lose power and conked out. I was on a two lane road during the rush hour. With traffic backed up luckily a police car arrived right away and covered my rear. I called for a tow and waited. The storm passed quickly and the sun came out. At this time I opened the hood and saw that the dizzy was wet. Luckily I had a large towel in the car and dried it off as best I could. Went back into the car and after a few tries it started up. I then was able to drive home. My question is how do I prevent it from happening again? All responses will be appreciated. Stan.
