You have to completely disassemble the distributor to change the PIP. This includes removing the distributor drive gear and it's associated roll pin. It's a pain, but doable.
I would save my money on parts, then take a little time to fully diagnose the issue. A LED tester comes in real handy...Ford Ignition Module Test. Fender Mounted Module (ICM).
While my money is on a faulty PIP, I always try to eliminate guess work.

Yes you can but most distributors unless they are new have a bad PIP sensors in them. Some on here have replaced the rebuilt distributors four times before they get one with a good PIP sensor.

With all the headaches the e150 is giving me ,might just be worth picking up a Distributor and installing it.
On Rock auto they have a "Spectra Premium / Cooling Depot FD16 Distributor " for approx $70.
As i mentioned before my son in law is a mechanic so he can help install it.
