yep. had that problem,

My distributor cap had a vent hole in it. It would leak in the big puddles. I replaced it with a different style of cap, still has the vent but it has a better venting setup. Sorry i can't remember where I got it.

maybe when you get the new cap, get some gasket silicon and run a small bead along the lip on the inside of the distributor cap.  worked for me.
