Replace the plug wires. If you have a strong spark to the cap the distributor is fine. Think about it, the spark goes in to the center terminal of the cap, then goes through the rotor which distributes the spark to each terminal in the cap as it rotates. The only link left between the cap and plugs is the wires.
