The Modular V8 sits under a generation of Mustangs, Cobras and the Ford GT. None of the variants here has variable cam timing, so the trigger story is simpler than the Coyote's.
Check your coils by year: the sources do not settle which engines ran which.
Where this comes from
Some items on this page are cited from Wikipedia and from ECU manufacturers such as Haltech, not from the engine's maker. Each row names its source, and a † marks a row that is crowdsourced. Always check your specific sensors and manuals where you have them.
A figure like 58x is pulses per crank revolution from one sensor. It is a rate, not a sensor count, and it does not say whether the sensor is VR or Hall. The planner reads sensor type, cam sensor count and variable cams from the cited text. Where the text does not settle one, the row says so: check your sensor.
