Normal
1987 22rte with a cut harness in a tube chassis. Start the engine and it has a tad of a high idle, you can rev it now. Wait about a minute and it will idle down to around what is normal(not running a tach) give it gas and it sputters and pops. If I hold it there for say 10 seconds, wait 3-5 seconds and hit the throttle again it will rev, wait till it idles down and it sputters again. It is not driveable. Not sure if it has anything to do with it but the engine did get wet in a rainstorm while traveling on the trailer, it ran fine when I loaded it. Traveled 4.5hrs to ride for the wknd and came home early, not happy. I appreciate any help and suggestions as I'm pretty much out of ideas. I've had this happen twice before, first time it cleared up on its own, second time found water in the diagnostic port. The Diagnostic port has been sealed well since then and was bone dry this time.Here are just a few things I tried;Plugs and wires look goodDistributor is good and dryswapped ecm's and nothing changedfuel pressure is 40lbswapped coils nothing changed

Plugs and wires look good
Distributor is good and dry
swapped ecm's and nothing changed
