I really appreciate all your help; I have read a ton of these forums and learned a bunch from your hundreds of comments. I've been driving my truck since I was 16 (5 years now!) and although still a novice, I have learned a ton. I messed around with the wiring some more and was able to hook up the stock coil wire to the msd box. I have been dding it for the last few weeks with no problems. There may still be a gremlin in the wiring, but hopefully replacing the altenator wire and bypassing the ballast (since I changed from a real 5 pin ecu to a 4 and was running it through a dual ballast) fixed my problem. And for the future people like me, don't hook a blaster 2 coil directly to a stock ecu, and use a ballast with a stock system.
