Really? Water inside the cylinders? Water that doesn't compress?
Wouldn't that force the head off or wreck the crank - that kind of
thing? Were there REALLY loud noises coming from the engine bay/bits
coming out of the side of the block?

Are you sure that you haven't just drowned the electrics? That could be
pretty deadly for a car of that age, too, of course. Personally, I'd
just dry it out and try turning the engine over.

Yup 10" of water does not sound like it should be that serious.



have you seen where some french cars put the air inlet?

Yes, but where's this one placed?
