Use graphite powder to lubricate the window track. Any liquid lube will trap dust/dirt and make your problem worse.

I use a Teflon Dry Lube made by PB Blaster.
It's not dirty like graphite.

Do you have a tach or an MSD box like the 6AL?
WHICH coil did you install?
Which ignition did your '85 F150 come with???

That's odd.
The instructions show straight up 'plug-'n-play'

Can you post a pic of these extra wires hanging off the coil?

Green is often used for a tachometer.
