85 4ksq Shutdown in the Rain

Q'ers

I was struck by the Audi gods today but I'm sure I had a hand in the problem.  I
was driving in to work today, raining cats & dogs, ran through a couple large
puddles and was waiting a stop light to make a left turn when all of the sudden
the 85 4ksq shutdown.  I tried starting again but it would only crank.  I think
the problem may be with the distributor cap and the main coil wire since I've
had some arcing from the coil wire in the past.  Any other thoughts or ideas as
to what the problem may be.

        TIA,
