Washing your distributor cap

[Tim Holt <holtt@nacse.org>]

Saw on Moss some guy's suggestion you toss your distributor cap and 
leads into the dishwasher if you have problems starting on rainy and 
foggy mornings.   My question is, what exactly is this doing?  Also I 
suppose, just what does go on in the distributor that makes starts on 
cold/foggy/rainy mornings not happen?
