I took my '86 sedan for a drive into town a couple of hours ago and it started to rain heavily. Driving about 30 mph I hit a puddle and the car stalled and I pulled into a parking lot dead as a door nail. I tried to restart it, but no luck. It stopped raining about 5 minutes later and I looked under the hood, but everything look nice and dry even on the top end. It's been 3 hours but it still won't start. Where do I start looking? I checked the 25 amp fuse and even removed it and replaced it....no start. I put in 2 spare fuel pump relays....no start. I'm at a loss at this point. Any help of where to start looking would be appreciated.

Thanks for looking.
