You need the correct plug wires. Those look like they're for a later model dizzy cap with the tower terminals.

Why not just switch caps with the proper connectors on it?

Yes its a 302. I was thinking of cutting off the female boots and putting male boots on the wires. Or are the actual WIRE TERMINALS unable to clip on?
