Electrical Hood gone engine got wet

Have you checked the battery and the battery cables, the ends?? I know you said you checked he grounds but have you checked the positive cable>> I have seen cables that look good but are actually shot on the inside, tarnished and the ends about falling off....
Get the battery load tested too.... The No crank you just posted suggested this??
It sure can't hurt at this point......

Did you remove the plug wires?
Have you replaced the distributor cap?
check firing order, spray the underside of the distributor cap with WD40 then wipe it clean, it removes water, the caps are porous,

Really doubtful.
Likely corroded wire connectors, have you checked the firing order to make sure you didn't swap a couple plug wires around when you installed cap and wires?
Get a spray can of electrical cleaner and go over the black and white connectors at the back of the intake and any connectors in the wiring to the TFI including the spout, MAF connector if equipped, TPS connector, do the coil connector too, in fact look at the coil body carefully for any trace of 'spark scatter', the easy way to do that is wail till it's dark and start the car and watch for sparks escaping to ground around the coil.
