Hey everyone, wondering if anyone can help me out. I haven't been able to get my 64 Catalina running in over a week since we had a huge rain storm; it just cranks and doesn't want to fire. I suspect water got somewhere and affected an electrical component, but Im not sure where. I sent it off to a shop to see if they can figure it out, what should I tell them?

You probably have moisture on the outside and inside of the distributor cap. Take the cap off and wipe with a towel to get it dry. Then spray WD-40 on the inside and outside of the cap to displace any remaining moisture.
If the car starts, then I would replace the cap, rotor and spark plug wires. If you don't then you will have the same problem again after the next rainstorm.
