Default Difference in engine?

I have been looking for spark plug wires for my 1998 mustang GT, and looking at some wires, they say 4.6l 2V, and 4.6l 4V. Whats the difference between them and which one is mine?

may i ask why your buying wires? i ask because a lot of the newer guys will go out and spend 400$ on new spark plug wires because they advertise 10+ hp and better ignition performance and all that crap, when really they wont do anything for them. if you NEED new wires or your replacing your old ones as some preventative maintenance by all means do it. but if your buying them thinking your car is going to get some sort of performance boost, use the money elsewhere.

well, im going in a new question. I was changing the spark plugs, and the one wire would not come out, so i grabbed a pair of needle nose, and pulled. It came out but not without leaving half on the plug. So i am going to make a new post with another problem i have about it. Thanks.
