The hole tells all. LOL.
And by the way notice how I almost actually committed to knowing this one.
Did say at least with my '96 I used to own. MLOL.

EDIT: Might be OK on the cap.
I could have sworn that the cap mattered too. I work at Napa and when I was looking up the parts thought it did.
Thing is now I am looking at the Napa site, I just went through this with somebody on the forum, and all they show is one cap.
Still could have sworn the computer asked. But it was over 10 years ago and since I don't own the '96 anymore I don't have my files so.......

Well Rock auto didnt specify if it was a specific type of cap or rotor, so if its wrong, I'll tell them THEY'RE wrong and return it, and they need to fix their descriptions.

How do I tell? What do I look for? stickers w/ numbers and holes? or stickers OR holes....
I'm at work and will have to walk out to my jeep to look... and its not exactly right outside. It'll take me nearly 10 minutes to go out and come back...

If you look at the pictures of the rotor for one distributor and then look at the other rotor you can see the hole on one of them is much bigger.
So if you don't have the sticker you can still determine which. But you actually have to pull the rotor to know.

If you have the sticker you are good to go.
If not look at the hole on the rotor of yours.
