condensation in distributor

Once again my a610 started but misfiring all over the place and again condensation and corrosion of the terminals was the cause
Any one got any idea to prevent this happening .Would a gasket between housing and distributor cap help




thanks

On my old Fuego, which had similar issues with its distributor, I found spraying Holt's Damp Start all over the cap worked well. Creates a silicone seal all over the cap, where it meets the distributor and the leads. It's cheap, may be worth a try

Replace the seal item 6 in pic below.

A classic problem with all old cars fitted with a distributor, hot to cold forms condensation.
Halfords made a lot of money in the old days selling products to start engines in the morning.

Thanks for the advice will start with the holts damp start
