If when starting off, especially on a hill, your tach shows excessive RPMs with little power, you may just be spinning the rear tires. You may not be able to see or hear it, but since it only does this in the rain, I'd be willing to bet on it.

I was kinda thinking the same. Even though we are replying to a 14 year old topic here.. lol
Damn near any truck will have this situation, if unloaded. Even in today's world where traction control is pretty much standard.
The white crossing stripes or the white 'stop here' paint at a stop light.. You'll spin the tires on those in the rain most times.
Those old Tbirds were RWD, right? It can happen on a FWD, but.. usually the engine weight alleviates it. But, worn/bald tires.. That engine weight don't matter too much.
