Coil on plug rewire

The pin out for the pcm and wiring for the coils are the same.
Between the 1999 Svt Lightning and 2004 marauder.

The marauder has the connector shell rotated so the release tab is on the top.

The lightning / crown vic / f150 will still plug in but their
Release tabs are on the bottom. The wires would be switched / crossed.

That’s why it needs to be repinned. The difference
Is mechanical not electrical.

Why?
My best guess is, the valve covers are so much wider on the 32 valve. There wasn’t enough space to get your thumb under the connector and release it from the bottom.
There is also the wiring harness for the fuel injectors in that area. I looked at some pictures but I couldn’t even see the coils.
