Rain = no start

[rocco16v at netzero.net (L F)]

The only time I've seen this be a problem is when the cap is cracked.
 Try putting on a new one.....

  Ok, so this '87 16v I got seems to have a problem starting everytime it
  rains.

  Looks like moisture is getting in (condensating in?) the
  distributor cap.

  Is this a common problem, and how do you solve it? Since the cap is up
  against the block, if I use sealant, what is going to resist the heat, and
  how am I going to get it off again, if it's sealed?

  My 85 8v had a similar issue, I had "stalling issues" everytime
  it rained.

  Any input?

  Cheers,
  Ed
