    I am not familiar with the first gens - check the wiring and distributor for any moisture?

    22RE or 22R? If it's a 22RE there are a lot of electrical connections that need to be checked. I would start disconnecting each connector one at a time and spraying electrical contact cleaner in them. Also your ECU could be fried. If you have a Haynes manual I would start looking at all of the starting and ECU starting wires. A flooded vehicle is always a headache working out all of the bugs.
