No, a bad distributor cap will not damage new spark plugs.
What does cause damage to spark plugs includes:
- "Cross-threading" when attempting to screw the plugs into the engine head (s). This will not only ruin the threads on the plug, BUT worse... ruin the threads in the engine head (s).
- Improperly handling of the plugs [dropping to floor which can break or bend the ground terminal, or break the ceramic part of the plug].
- Improperly set gap [can cause bad ignition resulting in burning or carbonizing on the plug].
There may be some other causes for damage to spark plugs that I cannot think of at this time.
