Need help identifying part

I have been having an issue where my car stops running.  I was able to recreate the scenario in my driveway.  I thought I just had some nasty old plug wires, so I swapped them last night along with plugs, cap, and rotor.  Unfortunately I can still recreate the problem. 

In the picture you will see the wires that connect to the distributer for the electronic ignition.  When the car is running, if I move these wires the car starts to stumble and will die.  I'm guessing that perhaps these wires are bad and need to be replaced.  Unfortunately I can not determine what these wires are called.  So hoping someone here can help educate me. 

Oh, in case it helps, the car is a 69 Charger with a 383.

Thank you in advance!

Those are a part of the Electronic Ignition Distributor whcih connects to the harness kit P3690152. Not really a name for them but you be best off just replacing the distributor anyway. http://www.retrorarities.com/EIconversion.htm
The part number for the distributor is 3690431 and available at any parts store for around $50.00.  Napa, Advance, AutoZone.  Most of them carry the Cordone reman ... it will work fine.
Hang on to the cap, they usually don't come with one.  Just got one for my 73.

Distributor pickup wires. Pickup can be purchased separately if you want to go that way, but you'll need a brass feeler gauge to set the airgap when installing the new one.
