Hmm.. I had this problem. I used to live in a very moist area. What would happen is the moisture from fog/rain/humidity would get into the distributor
assembly between the cap and the dizzy body. Because there is no seal this happens quite easily.
I just lived with it.
There could also be some moisture arcing out your HT wires somewehere else too.
What was touched and replaced during the tuneup?

moisture can affected points i think, one reason why so many use electronic triggering instead of points...
