Henry Ford was thinking about this problem 83 years ago.
Engineers added a notch in the Model B distributor housing to vent the water vapor.
If I remember correctly this was done in 1930 or 1931 but maybe not until 32. See attachment of a Model B distributor housing.
FS Ignitions sells a stainless steel intermediate shaft which will help. I wonder if someone makes a stainless collar also?

A person with good command of a Swiss Mill could modify the Model A distributor housing the same was as the Model B pictured. I have a B housing, and never gave it a second thought. Always room to learn, Thank You. I just may give that a try very soon.
