Love the grille.
Surprisingly, water on the distributor doesn't seem to cause any running problems. I drove my '27 through blinding rainstorms time after time (you know how it rains here in Florida) and it never missed a beat. I had a mallory dual point and also a stock distributor, and both were the same. I swore that the engine would quit running any second, but it never did.
Actually, the last time I drove it I came home in 5 hours of blinding rain from Daytona, and it purred right along. And I had no hood, of course.

If your cap and wires are in good shape, rain wont hurt. You should worry more about water getting down the carb....which really won't hurt anything either....just makes it run funny.

why not mount an electric motor on a pully, and hook them all in, that way they rotate in sequence. add some green LED's behind cleare lenses in the eyes and use some kind of rotational contact for power and you will be all set Originally Posted by hotroddaddy

An interesting idea involving skulls would be a skull air breather cover with a working mouth that would open during acceleration, using vaccum pressure.
