   Yes, seriously -- fasted way to dry out a wet distributor. You take the cap
off and lightly spray the inside of the cap. However, if you spray the outside
*before* it gets wet, it can save you some problems. Having said that, and as I
said before, if you are having problems with moisture, you probably have a
defective cap and/or wires.
