Wet Distributor Problem....

  It appears that the front mounted distributor is NOT the best place as the water causes problems.. I've replaced the second distributor yesterday .. Is there a cure for this wet distributor problem as the rain here if Florida is like a monsoon and why did the engineers decide on a front mounted distributor anyway.. It's ONLY natural that water will make its way and cut the engine off. Did GM have a remedy for this problem or is it my mechanic that's the problem???

 Thanks,
