Not a Ford thing, wires are wires, and in an engine bay "they" don't add extra wires, so pretty much all of them need to be plugged in
Could have pulled them back out of the way and unplugged somes wires near the drivers side firewall
Using distributor or carb, fuel injection or coil pack doesn't matter, they all needed to be hooked up correctly or engine didn't work well.
Reason you may know more about distributor and carbs is because you had to adjust them all the time, lol, shear repetition made us better with those pain in the butt devices, can't say I miss anything about them.
MAF sensor is on the air cleaner box, 4 wires.
(51)ECT sensor is on lower intake above thermostat, the 2 wire one, 1 wire sender is for dash temp gauge.
Coil pack has 3 coils inside, 6 spark plug wires, check its 4 wire connector.
And firing order on coil pack is a bit odd the first time you set it up
Ford numbers cylinders this way
3 6
2 5
1 4
front
And on coil pack the wires are
3 4
2 6
1 5
front
That 5 6 4 side will get you every time, I still get it wrong if in a hurry
Even reversed wires at the 4 5 6 spark plugs, so triple check firing order from coil pack to spark plug
