Bending the metal tang on the rotor up so it contacts the button on the cap works fine until you pull the cap off to see if the button is still there. At that point the button falls off and lands somewhere in the bottom of your distributor. Ask me how I know. lol

In any case, I've switched from buying genuine MSD caps and rotors to buying the Summit brand and haven't had a problem with the button falling off since.
