I would question this practice for sure..... Plug wires should last several years, as long as they are good quality... For instance, my wires are in the range of 7 to 10 years old......As for the distributor cap, well that is a judgement call, however once again I don't think every other year is called for... The Points and the Rotor on the other hand are a different story...
