Usually a starting problem that is as specific as the one you describe will be related to the high voltage ignition. Check the distributor cap, coil wire, rotor and plug wires. When you pull the distributor cap, look for evidence of arcing along the inside of the cap. Sometimes a set of plug wires will solve a problem like that. Often the extra humidity and condensate associated with a rainstorm can cause arcing of the high voltage that is SUPPOSED to fire the sparkplugs. If the high voltage takes a different path to ground, you will have nothing for the plugs. A small hole in the plug wires or some extra moisture on the inside of the distributor cap can certainly cause the problem you describe. Good luck.
