Car starting problem when wet, opinions welcome
#4
starts when dry ; won't start when wet.

surface condensation provides a leakage path for high voltage intended for the spark plugs.

you could spray wd-40 on the plugs, plug wires, coil and distributor, wait 30 seconds or so and try starting again.

the answer to your questions above is 'yes'.

assuming no crack in distributor cap or coil, then replacing plug wires & boots will be the way to go.
