Pull your plugwires out, dry the sparkplug tubes, sparkplugs, and wires. You can use the old sparkplugs and wires as long as the car runs fine when you have it all dried off.

Pull plugs, crank engine over a couple times to blow the water out, put plugs back in, take distributor cap off, let the water drain out, put it back together, hop on the freeway, go back home when the stuttering stops.
