Will these plug wires work?

    I was just in Advance Auto Parts tonight and they had a set of Accel 8.8mm plug wires sitting on the clearance table. The guy working there said they were for a sbc with points dist. I said I wonder if they would work in my Buick but he didn't know for sure. I couldn't resist, they were $68 and he sold them to me for $12 just to get rid of them.

    After looking at them, they look like they fit an HEI dist. but the instructions and box show them on a points dist. with posts that look like an HEI.

    So, is there another aftermarket points dist. cap I can put on my current points dist. to make these wires work or should I send them to eBay?
    Thanks.

    I'm not familiar with Accel, but I know MSD makes the ends for HEI that you can buy seperately. Trim off the old ends and slap em on!
