There wasn't anything special about the plug wires to make them water proof. They are basic plug wires, but the boot on the distributor end has to be cut off. The distributor cap has the screw on ends. Inside of these ends is a fat o-ring. Feed the cut end of the plug wire through the hole in the screw on end, slip the o-ring over the plug wire and snug it up into the end, stick the cut end of the wire into the distributor cap, push the end down and screw it on. Viola - water proof. You'll notice if you look down into the distributor cap terminal there is a pointed spike to push into the end of the plug wire to make contact with the core.
Beyond any hope for intervention
