spark plug produces spark in the range of 15000-35000 volts.
The distributor send high voltage from the ignition coil to the spark plugs. It ensures that they fire at the correct time and in the correct order.

No, the Distributor delivers high-voltage electricity to the Spark Plugs.
Spark timing
Spark plugs don't produce high voltage they just make sparks with high voltage. The high voltage in a car is produced by running the low voltage of a car through a coil and condenser a distributor defines exactly when the spark happens to light up the fuel in the cylinder
A distributor sends electric (from ignition coil) to the spark plugs via the spark plug wires, which in turn fire the engine.
To amplify the voltage going to the spark plug
It is a device connected to an engines cam that is made to deliver a high voltage spark to the combustion chamber at a precise moment through a spark plug.
The distributor sends a spark to the proper spark plug at the proper time. To do this, the points open and close a circuit to the coil to generate the high voltage spark. This is fed to the rotor which is rotated by the cam shaft and then sends this voltage to each of the spark plugs as the engine turns. Synchronization of this is done with a timing light which will send the spark to cylinder #1 as it comes to top dead center in the fire cycle.
Sorry, the 1992 B'mers all have computer controlled ignition. There is no distributor. However, there are coils on top of each spark plug that serve the function of providing spark energy (which is what the single distributor used to do).
The coil generates the high voltage charge which is then distributed to the spark plugs by the rotor arm in the distributor cap.
