Your Bosch cap should have a notch. This fitment is important so that the rotor fires correctly at the distributor post. Copper post caps are better than aftermarket aluminum post. Glue on rotors were from the factory and isn't needed with replacement rotors as long as the blue spring steel tension clip is inside the rotors - post hole. Just be sure to seat the rotor completly down so that the caps center carbon electrode has room for the spring to float the center electrode. I always use a dab of plumbers silicon grease on each cap wire before insertion into the cap. The Bosch caps are usually good for two scrapings of the post. I just use a straight bladed screwdriver with a sharp square tip.
