I had a Datsun pickup many years ago and it would have ignition problems when we had damp weather.  I could pull off the distributor cap and find moisture in there, even if the car had been setting for awhile, and even if there was no moisture on the outside.  I could wipe it out with a dry rag and it would start working again.  Of course driving through heavy rain could get everything under the hood wet.  Spray WD40 on everyhing, inside and out if it requires it, wipe it off, and it should start working again.  That is part of what WD40 does.

If your wires were arcing on the outside of the cap then spraying on the outside of the cap only might work.  On my Datsun they would arc on the inside of the cap so I would have to spray the inside.
