You left out an important piece of information: what year is your TR6.
Early TR6 (through 72 I think) take an unballasted coil; later years have a
ballast incorporated in the wiring harness and so take a coil that required
an external ballast.

Generally, only the "ballast required" coils are on the shelf at the corner
FLAPS; you'll likely have to go to a LBC (or similar) specialist for an
unballasted coil.

My suggestion would be a Pertronix "Flame Thrower" coil, either 40511
(unballasted) or 40011 (ballast required).  These are available many places,
TRF has them as P/N PTR201 and PTR202 respectively; "on sale" for $32
through Thursday.
