All my MSDs have been 6A or 6AL. Best coil to use is a parts-store 89-90-ish Ford F150 epoxy coil; they have an HEI post and require a bracket (easy to fab) and a pigtail (parts store). Been using the MSD/MP setup for over 30 years with only 1 problem from an oil-filled Blaster coil. It's been a great system for my street and/or strip cars.
