it rains ,then it won't start until after it stops raining.Anyone have any
suggestions?

Hi Joe,

Maybe check the wiring harnesses and connectors near the firewall, if water
is trickling down onto them during a rain storm. How soon after the rain
stops will it start?

Start the engine, and the best time is at night, run the water from a
garden hose over small sections of the engine and eventually you will find
the item causing the problem. You may be suprised to see a lot of arcing
going on around the plug wires and spark plugs.

It's certainly an ignition problem.  Spark plug wires or distributor
cap are typically the cause.  Good luck.  Al
