I have the msd pro billet with the 6a box, it starts right up, the problem occurs after it has warmed up for about 10 minutes or so, then it wont start up again untill it has cooled down

What's your timing set at? It's kinda acting like a race car with lots of initial timing. Does it crank slow when it's hot? Does it sound like it's trying to hit when your turning it over?

Are you getting fuel when you hot restart?

Be sure you let us know if it is indeed the pickup.
I'm about to buy one and would be very interested.

One thing on the msd is to test the ohms going into the dist, just undo the wires going to the dist from the ign box, you should get aywhere from 5.7 to 13.0 ohms. I would get 5.9 ohms, but after I ran the truck for 10 minutes or so it would quit running, and I would get nothing on the multimeter. After it would cool down, I would get my reading back and the truck would fire right up
