Getting the Optispark distributor wet will often cause problems like that. Did you protect the Opti before cleaning the engine? How did you clean it?

The vented opti's are designed to pull moisture out of them with the car running. If you can get it to run, maybe it will just take a little time to straighten itself out and be just fine. Corrosion is bad and letting them sit with moisture in there can ruin them over time.
