my cap  has sockets for normal spark plug wire ends and the wires have
threaded ends  like spark plugs which is the right one for this year  van

This  is the cap problem that has been discussed here before.  The old style
cap and new style cap will both fit on your 1.9 distributor.  It is highly
advisable to use the cap and wires with the threaded pins as you call  them.
Much better connection.  BUT do not use the wires for the old  cap on the new
cap.  This will cause you untold grief and you never find it  until you come
see me !
