Do a Good tuneup.Change the plugs, wires distributor cap and rotor. Make sure the distributor had a gasket in it to go between the cap and the distibutor housing. Your getting moisture somewhere. Use some silicone grease on the ends of the spark plug boots before you put them on the plugs. This will create a seal and keep moisture out of there too. You can do the same for the mating surface of your distributor cap.

I had the same trouble with my 98 Blazer. I did the tune-up thing and replaced "ALL" the wiring , plugs and distributor cap, rotor and coil. I even changed out all the sensors. After doing all of this the car would still just crank and crank but not start in wet weather. Believe it or not I found the trouble after about a year of going through all this and calling for rides. If you check the bolts that hold the starter onto the engine block you with more than likely find that they are worn or even loose. Go to a Chevy dealer( MUST BE A DEALER, NOT A PARTS STORE) and buy two new bolts and replace them. They will cost you about 3-4 dollars and your Blazer will start right up. Mine has not given me any trouble now for over a year, and it has rained a lot here. The tec at the shop told me that Chevy had put a certain type of bolt in Blazers from 1995 to around 2004. These bolts will wear down and allow the starter to slip to the outside and not make good contact with the fly wheel, causing the crank shaft not to rotate fast enough to start the engine. Try this and good luck!

A quick temporary fix is Wire Dryer, an aerosol spray available at most auto supply stores. Spray it on the visible wires on and near the carburetor qand around the spark plugs. This will repel the water that's on the wires that's preventing the charge from starting the engine.

WD 40 over the distributor and HT leads

You need to replace the spark plug wires, when they get old, they get susseptable to moisture and won't let the ignition spark pass through (resistance) since you've replaced everything but the problem wires, this should solve your problem. good luck

The plug wires are probably bad and will suck up the moisture; causing your issues. Replace those and your plugs and this should be cured.

Check to see if there's a build up of moisture on the point's, that's the sad part of this so called "new technology"!

some where along the line your wires are exposed to the water and they are shorting on you.. check your wiring.
