I agree welding can hurt them for sure.
On the cap if it isn't noticeably burned on the inside or there isn't a
crack, you can tune a FM portable radio to a non station, hold it near the
distributor and if you pick up a white noise crack as the car runs you have
a bad distributor cap or a broken wire. No comments needed from the 'peanut
gallery' on the last sentence.
