Default '96 Chev 5.7L Vortec problems

anyone have a problem with there cap & rotor ? this is the 3rd one I've gone through in 1 year and less than 10K driven. It seems that all the contacts corrode - may be from sitting? is there supposed to be a cap seal for moisture?? - seems to have a hard time starting when its really damp out. any suggestions???? before it leaves me stranded again?

BTW it was raining today and it would'nt start - pulled the cap & rotor off - cleaned the corrosion & it started but running a bit rough.
