what bike is it for?

you can get plug caps at almost any auto parts store, local dealer, online (jcwhitney, etc)

more details would be helpful though

more information about your bike would help folks respond intellegently. some coilpacks have integral wires others have wires that can be disconnected. Many insist on copper wire core plug wires, I've got accel coils and stranded wires and non resistor caps, but ran copper wires and ngk resistor plug caps before that...

there's a thread around here somewhere that is a how-to so you can use new wires without getting new coils.  I'd give the search button a run for its money.

edit: I was nice and did the dirty work for you.
