Should have the black disc thing under the rotor that covers the points. Dont know how much it would affect it though.
I am rumming stand offs if this pouring rain and i have no problems.
I reckon you got a crack.

Rhys,
Some bugs are more suseptible than other to water on the distributor.
You can sometimes improve the situation by removing the wires from the distributor cap and giving it a complete wipedown with paper towels or rags to
remove all the dust on top - this makes an excellent moisture trap so you get cross-firing arcos the top of the cap. Pull the coil main iwre and
clena around that terminal too - same deal with the dust.
If you have a two-slot lid on that bug, they originally had rain trays under the lid to drain water out the bottom of the lid. If it's a 4-slot
lid (72+ cars) - they have no rain tray (no room for it with the larger paper air cleaner) and the engine does get a little wet.
Keeping a can of WD40 handy is a good idea (it will usually cures a wet-start problem), but it has a downside - if you leave the WD40 on the
distributor cap it eventually dries out and dust then sticks to it - starting the process all over days or weeks later - so the cap still needs a good
cleanup.

Whatever you do, DON'T spray WD40 or similar in dissy and try to start immediately. WD40 is flammable ("refined kero and peanut oil" . My auto elec. told me he has seen a dissy blown to pieces when someone did
this.
