Replacing spark plug wires

I have a Lucas distributor cap with 4 spark plug wires.
The plug cap at the engine is very familiar, however the lines go directly into the top of the cap . Can the wire's be replaced without purchasing an entire set up?

Thanx
 
Yes,
If you pop off the cap and flip it over, you can see little holes. Place your small flathead screwdriver in there and twist the little screws out. They are pointed and go right into the wires. The whole process takes no more than a few minutes.

Just keep in mind that the TR caps have a tendency to wear and get etching on the terminals. You can get the replacement caps at your local parts store for five or so bucks, so it might be worth replacing it if you haven't in a while.
