Be careful sealing the distributor cap. When condensation sets in there will be no way for it to evaporate out and you might be taking it on and off more often. Condensation may be forming if the cap is warm and the rain is cooler. Also, the pulse coil connections should be should be cleaned and covered with electrical grease. Are you sure it's the distributor cap. No water in the plug holes and the cover is on the ignition coil.
