I cant remember ever installing one, but I've take a lot of them off of cars. I don't remember ever having to reinstall an igniter.

The MSD 6AL cannot function as the ignitor itself. You need to either run the OEM ignitor or build a solid state trigger circuit. I've built several of these circuits in the past for myself and friends' vehicles, and successfully run the 6AL with no ignitor.
John @ J&S came up with this circuit:

Pics are missing, but you can read my thread on H-T for the first one I built...holy crap...almost 17 years ago:
