Is the original application a EFI 5.8 in a 1996 Ford truck with OBD1?

Nope, not for OBD1 as far as I know.
Original for older EEC-III units, and some EEC-V, as far as I know.
The 28oz balancers with a 4 point miss-fire ring were on some 1981 302s, and some 1981-?? 351w, part number E1TE-C3A
Then some 1996 351w E series and F series, mostly California I believe had the same 28oz balancer with the miss-fire 4-point ring, part number F6TE-JA.

I see what you are saying now. The last year (1982) 302 28 oz truck balancer. With that special balancer and with the 36-1 ring installed someone could make themselves a "302" coil-near-plug set-up as well.
I can see some young guys saying to themselves, "what is all this 28 oz balance stuff about?"
I've never heard a reason as to why Ford went to the 50 oz balancer.
Thanks for clarifying about the 1981 special balancer part.
