Welcome. Check all the usual electrical/ignition items, dizzy, coil, leads etc to make sure moisture isnt affecting them.

hello and welcome to the asylum for the mental and delusinal lol
Hi Joe and welcome to the forum.
As Matt said I would check the HT leads, Coil, Distributor and and Rotor arm first
Good look.......
the distributor is not the best sealed device on the car. but basically go round everything with a can of wd40 & a rag
oh, and welcome to png

I went through a massive flood a few months back, drenched something, changed plugs and leads and all was well. So yer spray with WD40, it's a Vauxhall part, it'll find its way inside the distributor :D
