Why You can't go through the river??? By my mind low pipe position not a problem (still engine running).

Yeah, its seems like ignition system problem...

Have you waterproof ignition distributor, coil and wires? Check it out!

If you want modify your exhaust system then start from replacement of your cast iron exhaust collector (very hot (red) cast iron and cold water, you know)!

Yes, there is a problem with the exhaust pipe. It has happened, that the engine can not push out the water and engine stalls. Usually it should'nt stall in 70-80cm deep water. But if the exhaust system is clogged or not airtight then the water gets in, since there is no pressure at the end of the exhaust pipe.

You could check your exhaust system for leaks and maybe rebuild it.
Here is what I did:




Basicly an open system with no muffler, only a resonator.
It ends right before the rear tire. I never had problems with stalling the engine while pipe is under water and it has been deeply under water
