Being near the point of installing the engine, I'd like to know what battery options the rest of you have chosen, and how well they seem to work.

One of the big problems (at least in cars) for water in the distributor, is that the vapor from the water in the muffler gets inside the dist cap and make an electric arc. will not get the spark to the spark plugs. Some kind of spray or something betwen the distributor and the Dist cup needed to prevent this.

Larry, the plugs themselves aren't a problem. More likely any problem spots
would be water somehow making it's way into the distributor or under the
boots of the wires. The distributor should have a nice o-ring under the cap,
should come from the factory tht way, as far as the pulg wire boots, I believe
AutoZone sells stuff, some sort of gel, that you can put on the plug tips
before installing the wire to help keep them from getting dirty and corroded.
I've had old distributors in my pickup that have given me trouble on rainy
days (I guess it was just the humidity or maybe some water managed to splash up
from the street). Anyway, car ran fine after it warmed up long enough to heat
the distributor a bit, but ran rough up till that point. The problem was a worn
corroded looking cap contacts as well as rotor contact, that thing was all
corroded looking too. Granted, that was just age, but it did act up when it was
wet out, and probably how it managed to age rapidly to begin wit!
h. I changed the wires for good measure at the time too. Anyway, short answer,
water can affect the ignition system, but less of a chance if you have the boots
and cap sealed well, the plugs themselves should be fine, but I believe
there's a product you can apply to the threads to help out too. Just put it
on your list of things to check once a year, pull the cap and check out the
rotor and cap contacts and plug boots. I'd imagine you'd be pulling the
plugs once a year anyway to see what's going on inside.
