5.0 Help in a truck

I have an 86 Ford F150 with the 302 fuel injected engine. I could really use your guys help, because we cannot figure this thing out.

We put a new (used) engine in the truck a while back. It ran great, better than it ever did before. Then all of a sudden it quit and we haven't been able to get it running since. We did a full tune up on it, and its getting plenty of fuel pressure. However it will not fire consistently. When you put a timing light on it, its blinks randomly and you can get a read on it( Yes the light is good, we checked it on my cobra). So then someone told me to put a new coil on it. This made it better, but still no constant fire. Its tries to fire up, but just doesn't have enough to get it going. BTW, i also took the module off and it tested good.

I really need to figure this thing out, because we need it. And advice and suggestiong would be very helpful. There may be some other things that i left out, but hopefully someone can make sense of this. Thanks
