spark plug wire issues

Got some good old Audi spark plug wires for the 84 4ksq today, pulled an
old one off and the wire separated from the plug connector, good thing I
have new ones. The problem is the connection at the distributor is
different than the old ones, the old set up has a female connection on the
wire part and the new wires have a male connection, I see a problem.

I am guessing that someone put an aftermarket distributor cap with "high
performance" spark plug wires. Does anyone know if after market sets come
like this?  If so, does anyone have a good stock distributor cap they can
part with?  Maybe Audi made some new wires and forgot about my car. 

Any advice would be great.

Thanks
