Didn't read all they way thru but yes some 4.6 have the breakers too. If it's a 3 valve they have the two peice plug. On some of the later 5.4's they made a design change. You can tell by the color of the coil boot. As far as doing the job I have all my guys use an impact on them. just for reference I'm a service manager at a ford dealer.

one of the worst designs for a simple part I have ever seen...but like said before, if you have a miss, scan it, will show which cyl it is, replace the coil 1st 99% time is the issue...they fail often, had a old police crown vic that got in on trade deal, started missing under load like a bad plug wire, was coil, changed that and ran fine...
