100k miles is suggested, but if you're getting terrible gas mileage, you notice some arc'd spots on the spark plug wires, you notice a powder like coating around the wires / distributor, or something seems off. Just pop the 2 screws for the cap and check to see if the rotor is burnt up at the end. It'll look like an electrical burn on a screw driver if you ever arc'd it across your battery. Make sure you mark your wires if they need to be pulled off of the cap to ensure proper re-connection later on.
