A "rotor button" is located under the distributor cap (in an older vehicle) prior to the use of "Coil on Plug" or electronic type of ignition systems.
As the distributor rotates the rotor (which is attached to the distributor shaft) has only one contact point is directed to the spark plug to be "fired"

Where does the middle spark wire go from distributer?
Firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. Move #1 cylinder to where piston is up, and on the compression stroke (TDC). Easiest way to do this is with a compression tester on the #1 cylinder - rotor cap OFF. When you see the pressure build...you're on the compression stroke. The rotor cap should be at the #1 cylinder firing position...simply re-install the rotor cap at this time - noting which button is #1. Starting at #1 install the wire for the #1 cylinder onto the rotor cap...the next button (clockwise) on the cap should correlate to #8; the third button on the rotor cap is, cylinder #4..and so on. work your way around the rotor cap until you have all 8 cylinder wires in place...ignition coil wire in the middle button. Engine should start and run.

What would cause rotor button and cap to hit together?
A rotor button and cap may hit together due to several reasons, including improper installation or alignment of the distributor components. Worn or damaged components, such as a faulty rotor, cap, or ignition timing misalignment, can also lead to contact. Additionally, excessive play in the distributor shaft or incorrect rotor height can cause interference. Regular inspection and maintenance can help prevent these issues.
