Larry, the plugs themselves aren't a problem. More likely any problem spots would
be water somehow making it's way into the distributor or under the boots of
the wires. The distributor should have a nice o-ring under the cap, should come
from the factory tht way, as far as the pulg wire boots, I believe AutoZone
sells stuff, some sort of gel, that you can put on the plug tips before installing
the wire to help keep them from getting dirty and corroded. I've had old
distributors in my pickup that have given me trouble on rainy days (I guess it
was just the humidity or maybe some water managed to splash up from the street).
Anyway, car ran fine after it warmed up long enough to heat the distributor
a bit, but ran rough up till that point. The problem was a worn corroded looking
cap contacts as well as rotor contact, that thing was all corroded looking
too. Granted, that was just age, but it did act up when it was wet out, and
probably how it managed to age rapidly to begin with. I changed the wires for
good measure at the time too. Anyway, short answer, water can affect the ignition
system, but less of a chance if you have the boots and cap sealed well, the
plugs themselves should be fine, but I believe there's a product you can apply
to the threads to help out too. Just put it on your list of things to check
once a year, pull the cap and check out the rotor and cap contacts and plug
boots. I'd imagine you'd be pulling the plugs once a year anyway to see what's
going on inside.

One of the big problems (at least in cars) for water in the distributor,
is that the vapor from the water in the muffler gets inside the
dist cap and make an electric arc. will not get the spark to the spark
plugs. Some kind of spray or something betwen the distributor and
the Dist cup needed to prevent this.

| Subject: | battery for Jab 3300 |
Being near the point of installing the engine, I'd like to know what
battery options
the rest of you have chosen, and how well they seem to work.
Elden,
Would highly recommend an Odyssey, either the 625 or, if you can take a
bit more weight, the 680. While you're at it buy the charger specially
formatted for these two. I fooled around with a cheap Helios 17amphr
for a few years and would always cross my fingers with cold wx starts.
Finally got a 625 with the charger and that battery can spin a cold
Jabby like Hillary can spin a tale of sniper fire. Now, like the V8
juice commericial, I smack myself in the noggin every time I begin the
start routine in the a/c.
Please ignore my little political comment...jeff HDS/3300

Jeff,
Curious on what is the charger 'specially formatted' for this battery? I plan
on using the Battery Tender brand of battery maintainers like I do on my motorcycle.
I think this one works pretty well on these RG batteries.
Thanks,

Dave,
I have the OMAX-6A-1B charger and love, love, love it. When the hangar
drops to the low 30's it is nice to know that a quick boost charge will
be on in the 15 minutes it takes to run the ceramic cube heater (blown
up bottom of cowl onto carby) and the preflight. In 20 degree outdoor
temps the 625 cranks nicely.

the jab 3300 is pretty much a motorcycle battery so a charger/ maintainer from
SEARs is what has worked great for mine.

gewl aviation battery little bigger than the standard one since my panel ways little
i wanted more center CG on the plane so battery the next size up. . A concorde
Sealed battery is best bang for the buck.
