My suburban has resently developed a problem with starting in the/after it rains. Turns over and is getting gas, but not spark. After it dry's out it will start.

When the problem occurs, you might look inside the dist. Cap, see if there is any moisture. If there is, dry it out, spray some wd40 in the cap and let it dry.

You might use some dielectric grease on the plug and coil boots, both ends, where applicable.
