FYI - usually the late model Ford cube relays have a diode suppression system built-in.

One non-outer space question
Is the crank trigger wheel mounted with the rotation in the correct direction. I have seen problems like yours on MSD crank triggers with the crank wheel is installed backwards. I believe it is something to do with the orientation of the magnetics and whether the system has a leading edge or falling edge trigger.
Outer space questions
Have you checked battery voltage to the ECU with a scope while cranking? Maybe put a separate battery than the cranking battery for a test just to isolate EMI from the power supply to the ECU. If your cap is big enough it could take out the low frequency droops but letting the high freq pass.
Maybe electrically isolate the crank sensor from ground. It may have a ground fault causing a problem that may not be picked up by your isolated scope on the lathe.
Where do you have the drain wire to the shield grounded - could it be picking up EMI from it's ground

Looks like you need a Schmitt trigger to smooth the data. Have you / can you played with the sensor gap?

Hello,
My name is Ken Slater AKA "Ken 67 Wagon" on the FE Forum and "FE_Rex" on most others. I live about 1-hr west of Houston, TX. Started with FE's in Fairlanes circa 92, ran a 67 Fairlane wagon in 98 before they were cool. Have several cars and projects involving tractors (Ford), farm implements, cars(Ford), trucks(Ford), guns and many other mechanical contrivances - the older and more arcane - the better.
Regards to all,
Ken Slater
