I have a 86 Gt which I swapped out a 3.4L DOHC motor. The car ran great but started to missfire.. I checked it out on the scope and found that the front three plugs were not fireing as they should. So I lifted the plug boots up and shook them and i can hear water splashing inside. So as I looked around I realized that my deck lid front seal was missing.

Does any one know where I can get one?

Thanks,
Bob

You can find them on eBay or even in the mall from time to time. They were actually removed during a recall, but are safe to re-install if you can find one.

Why didn't you grease your boots with dielectric grease before you put them in? a dab in the wire to boot seal and also inside makes a huge difference. It's a silicone based grease and even if they were under-water the rain cant get in them.

Well, it wasn't rain,,,,it was water hose... I washed the car. I did use to dielectric grease which explaines why it ran as well as it did for having one bank filled with water. I think what really didn't help was the doubled humped valve cover. I think it could catch water and eventually leak into the plug wells. So I figured since the wires were subceptable to water, so was my harness and computer. I may come up with something if I cant find a seal.

Thanks for the help and comments,
Bob

Bob, I have had Mike Freed's strip installed on my car for about 3 years now. It is perfect. Go with it!

Nice looking engine bay....... If you can`t find the strip, you can make one pretty easy--as I`m guessing you have allready figured out...

Ok I fixed it. Call it overkill, shade tree or what you want but it seems to work. I installed a strip of flashing all along the bottom of the window. I used a tin brake to form edges to channel the water and secured it to the hinges.
