Sounds exactly like our 85 when first purchased and it was completely cured
with a simple replacement of the Ignition wires (spark plugs and coil).
Any time it rained it would start missing and if you ran through a puddle
more than an inch deep it would quit.    Stop a while and let the heat of
the engine dry it out and away you would go only to have it happen all over
again.    while I was there I also replaced the distributor cap and rotor.
Hope this helps!
