Re: Screw-in ditributor wires

Do you really mean wires that end with a thread and screw into to cap, or perhaps wires that terminate with an eyelet and are attached to the cap with a machine screw?

If the latter, that's typical of many distributors from many makes of cars from the early years up to the mid-30s. My '34 Packard with NorthEast distributor uses high tension wires terminated with eyelets and attached to the cap with machine screws. The spark plug end also uses eyelets attached to the plug with knurled thumb wheel nuts.
