Answering this question is difficult without a year and motor size provided. I have experience with many Cougars from 1987 on - and all but one were completely timed by the computer without a distributor. The 3.8l engines 1994 and newer all had computer-controlled ignitions with coil packs and a crankshaft position sensor, so it is timed with software and is not modifiable. The 1999 and newer engines were all computer-controlled. Many V6 motors before 1994 were mechanically timed with a distributor, but I did own a 1993 with a computer-controlled setup. The distributor-based engines in those years are all timed according to the standard procedure.
