Ford ignition module. You can run the self test jumping the connector next to the battery. Have someone count the check engine light. Look up this procedure online. " FORD SELF TEST"

Interesting, I have the same exact system, newer truck and not once ever heard of a sensor in distributor.it started just fine but tanks stole gas. I never put it in shop and fought it for a year. Interesting discovery to resolve issue.
