A friend who likes older big cars found a late 1970's Lincoln at the 
same place I bought my '83 Civic FE.  It had gotten its whole front end 
dunked during a flash flood about ten years earlier.

He had the car towed then replaced the starter, installed a new battery 
and removed the plugs.  Motor spun right over (spraying him with a lot 
of water from the plug holes). He put on a rebuilt carb, changed the 
oil/filter and rigged a tem****ary fuel tank/line directly to the carb. 
Also put in new plugs.  Damned thing started right up and within a 
minute or two was purrin' like a cat.
