Hi mate, here is a very old fashioned and very cheap and effective cure for keeping your distributor water free. Buy some grease, any cheap grease will do.
Apply a thin smear of grease around the join between the distributor can and the main body and the same where the coil lead goes into the centre of the distributor cap.. THATS IT, no more water where you dont want it. You can also put a bit around each plug lead where it enters the distributor and also a little on the top of the coil where the coil lead exits and the possotive and negative wires connect. This is a bit messy when applying it but is a sure fire way of keeping your distributor and coil dry and costs bugger all. I do this on all the 4WD's I have owned and have never once had a problem with a wet distributor. LOOKS messy, WORKS great.

Cheers mate, I'll be doing this thanks also I plan on cutting the fingertips out of a pair of rubber gloves, 2 leads out each finger and the coil lead out of the 5th finger, cable tie each finger, then the wrist part over the distributor and another cable tie IF any water gets in the grease will keep it out
