A little rain down the intake will just clean the carbon out....Seriously, I can remember some of the older guys pouring a small coke bottle of water down the intake for that very purpose. They'd rev it up as they dribbled the entire contents down the carb. Black soot would pour out of the exhaust. However, I will confess that I've never done it myself.
I did have a '74 TA a few years back with the scoop open and I drove it in all kinds of weather. Never had an issue with running it in rain.
