I have a 1998 Blazer with 212,000 miles. It won't start when it's raining. It cranks and cranks, but won't start. It starts fine when the rain stops and everything dries out. Where should I begin?

You probably have moisture getting to the coil wires. That would cause that probably. Just use silicone grease to seal up the connections to keep the moisture out

I agree with the probablity of the wires. Unless they are somewhat new, I'd replace them.
