5ktq electrical issues update...

[Cody Forbes]

I replaced the cap, rotor, wires, and hall sending unit about a month ago.
Cap, rotor, and hall unit were replaced with brand new units, wires were
known good used. Everything that is suggested here that I reply to with a
"already checked" or "recently replaced" I have been double checking the
very next time I go to work on the car. I keep every last suggestion written
on a notepad here and I've been checking things off as I go.

Huw tell me how possibly could the engine run fine normally if the firing
order is off? Unless the Mac-11 is somehow changing the firing order when
theres an electrical load I am not seeing how this could be my issue.
