16v Plug wires... Need adaptor?!?

Ok, the distributor end of the wires aren't the standard type. The male/female push in plug thing is considerably smaller than say, an american car. When I went to put my Neuspeed wires on my TEC-II, they obviously didn't fit. Can I simply buy new ends and attach them or do I need to use wires from a different car?

This problem was definately unanticipated!

Yeah, but any 16v wires I buy will be for the 16v distributor with the small pug things. Generic wires won't fit b/c of the DOHC setup, right?

Buy the wires to fit the distributor. The fatter end on the spark plugs unscrews...
