    Coil packs - Straight or curved for 2006 4.6L V8 3V?

    As the title states... I was pretty sure that when the mechanic pulled out the #8 pack (wet), that it had a curve to it. But I'm seeing online that it is supposed to be straight for this year (2006). Perhaps the wrong ones were installed (2002-2005). Please confirm, thanks!
