Re: '90 wont start when it rains

The spark plug wires go from the distributor to the spark plugs. I don't know if you have a 6 or 8 cylinder engine so there are either six or eight of them in a set plus the wire from the coil to the distributor. Go to your auto supply store and tell them you need a set of spark plug wires for your car. Have them go out and see what engine you have. Remove and replace one spark plug wire at a time using the closest in length new wire as the replacement.
