No, i would say you more than likely didnt burn your alternator out. Im thinking you probably got some water into the distributor and got some on the pickup. Make sure the rest of the engine is dry and let it sit in a dry place for a few hours. You probably just got some water where it shouldnt be. It will dry up soon. Probably should leave the hood open to let the water evaporate a little faster. If no go Ill be here! O yea welcome to FTE!

This forum isnt about paying for help its about asking. I dont want your money! The PCV valve is located in the valve cover connected to a rubber hose that goes into a vacum port on the carburetor. Not sure on the map sensor as I dont have EFI. You might have the kick down linkage not adjusted right or if its vacum operated, the hose might be leaking or you need a new solenoide on the trans. Franklin2 would know all about the sensors so maybe he will be here soon!

Hmm, try unplugging and plugging back in all the low voltage connections on the ignition system, I found the plug at the coil was probably the worst for water killing the ignition.
Also, remove the distributor cap(should be able to without removing the wires) and check for moisture on the bottom of the cap, and in the pickup at the bottom of the distributor, another place I've had water issues with my mud racer.
