The quill stem inserts, doesn't fit on. The threadless headsets and the quill stem headsets are not interchangeable, so you would have to make some special efforts.

You insert the stem into the steerer, and then tighten it down.
Alternatively, you could buy a stem extender, such as this,

install it, and then install a threadless stem over it, such as this:

That way, you can have your cake and eat it, too. However, the original design is still quite good, and your vintage bike will look better original, unless you want it different. The quill stem is still used on some road bikes (and a few hybrids and mtb's), and works very well.
Good luck. Ask more if you need to do so.
