Timing w/MSD

Can I use a standard timing light to set timing? I have an MSD coil and 6A. I thought about just taking harness off the coil and just setting like that but I have my plugs gapped to .050 and I'm not sure that the coil has the spark to jump the gap. Anyone know what to do?

Just a few mods, if you want to find out just line up next to me at a stoplight!

My MSD is a 'permanent' part of my wiring, I just time my car as per normal instructions using a standard timing light w/o any problems.
