Moisture in the ignition.
Inspect the coil top, coil wire, distributor cap and rotor for flaws or cracks. Check the ignition wires.
Get some good ignition wire spray. Clean off the parts and coat
them with it.
A little WD 40 or Rust Check sprayed on the coil and distributor cap and wires will get ya going in the rain in the mean time.
try it.

yeha i think F-BIRD'88 hit the tack on the head.. my brother had a similar problem, even alittle bit of moisture like dew on the points / cap and rotor wont make the spark needed..
water and electricity is a no no
