Engine submerged

Recent thru/hull failure resulted in 18" of water being taken on. My A4 was covered to the top of the flywheel. I have drained the and replaced the oil, removed and cleaned carb. Removed, dried spark plug wires as well as the distributor cap, points. The engine compartment was well ventilated in breezy 80 degrees for 4 days. The engine fired and ran for about 45-60 seconds then died. Unable to restart the engine. Checked and have fuel to fuel pump, however there is no spark. the coil is very hot. My question is: is the coil "toast"or is there a short that is causing the engine to fail to start (and overheat the coil). Any input is appreciated.
