The first part of the car to see deep water is the crank pulley. Then the balance shaft belt. The belt makes the best water pump. Throws water all around inside the belt cover. This gets into the back side of the dist and is "pumped" through the vent hose into the air box (if you still have one).

Hopefully the dist floods and the car dies before there is sufficent water in the air box to hydro lock the engine.

Another point of contention in the connections to the fuel pump. If these are bad a good dose of water will point this out.

When was the last time you changed your timing and balance belts and/or cam chain and tensioner?
