While this thread has been about the Wadeproof equipment used on Ford engines, I see in another thread on CARTER CARBURETTORS there are some detailed pics of the "Dustproof" Carter W1 Carb used on Chev and GM vehicles, the W1-589S Carb.

This carb would utilise the same waterproof aircleaner as the Ford one with the same airhorn adapter, to be used in Chev/GM Wadeproof applications.

I've no doubt that the system worked. Would like to try it on one of my trucks.

I'm am curious if the instructions on wading mention what happens to the radiator fan?
Is it removed? Or are you not supposed to drive in water that deep?
Is there some sort of kit or prep for the coil?
Snorkel for the driver?

I think the same of you about Fan, may be a Generator Brace like Willys MB to quick release...
The wadeproof manual no mention remove radiator fan or belt....
