If anyone implied the wading plug would have any effect on your electrics you've been misled, you might as well stick it in your ear for all the good it'll do for them! It's there to protect the clutch by sealing the bell housing. If it's just your dizzy cap causing probs you could try a smearing of vasaline round the mating surfaces, and then a good coating of WD40 over the rest.

yer can get a spray sealer thats like thick jelly that seals the dizzy for bad weather , or a good thick agricultural grease will do it

Did you view the U-tube clips I posted on your clutch question?
Tells you what you should do to a series before wading to stop water drowning the electrics.........
First check depth of water before you drive through it......
Second if deeper than the wheel hub, loosen the fan belt to stop the fan chucking water about,
Lastly, enter water slowly, then gently accelerate to create a propper 'bow wave' and create a depression around the engine bay in the water.....
Basically, dont be a numpty and pussy-foot it, or just try blasting thru!
