Matt,

I just took another look at your photo and realized that it shows an early 12V 
VR with the screw terminal for the D+ connector. That style of 12V VR was only 
used in '68 and was replaced by one which had spade connectors all around. The 
early style of VR has not been available for decades.  

You will need to make an adaptor for the D+ terminal. I DO NOT recommend that 
you try to replace the connector on your D+ wire, as you will not be able to 
make a sufficiently good crimp with consumer level tools. It might be possible 
to just drill a hole in the spade on the VR so that you could use a small nut 
and bolt.
