What cap with NGK wires?

In doing the plugs/wires/cap, I noticed the NGK (blue) wires don't give off a good solid snap when plugging into the Distributor Cap - -they connect and are seeming to stay connected but seems kind of weak. I used something from NAPA for the Dist cap, what is everyone else using that may be more secure?

Whichever wires I use, I slide the boot up the wire and use a small screwdriver to push the terminal in to the distributor then slide the boot down.
Haven't had a problem yet that I could attribute to the wires.

Every cap does the same thing so a Napa brand should be fine. I just put NGK plugs in mine and I'm getting NGK wires when I get the money and maybe a replacement toyota dist. cap and rotor.

take a flat-head to the electrode and open it up a little bit; I had to do the same thing with my NGK wires... one of them kept popping off...
