Jumpy needle

Well, I've noticed that when I'm driving, my tach needle jumps up every couple seconds.  It only started doing this when I unhooked my MSD 6a box.  The box was sucking power, so my car wouldnt start.  I did pull a spark plug to do a test, and i think that is what might be acting up.  I havent had the time to check it.  Any ideas?
It's a stock 5.0.

put the MSD box back on and use a battery disconnect switch when parking?
