All rotors made to OEM specifications should come internally keyed to the half notch on the end of the distributor shaft. The rotor may or may not be designed with a metal tension tab deep inside that aligns to the notch. Most have a slight taper and when fully seated in the proper orientation they should be on good and snug and won’t need a tension tab. Once properly seated, the ones like most of the Bosch with the tapered shafts can be quite difficult to get off again.
