Sounds like the module is always on, and being triggered somehow while the engine is not running?
Do you know how to perform the spark test on an MSD ignition?
The test quickly determines a module fault, a coil fault, wiring or distributor as the cause for no spark.

My biggest and first concern is whatever caused this in the first place - is that a fault in the MSD 6A, or is it possible a failed ignition switch caused the: a) MSD 6A and coil to remain energized even though the switch was in the 'Off' position) ; and b) gauges and accessory power to become inoperative even when the switch was in the 'On' position? In nearly 50 years of driving I don't recall ever having an ignition switch failure.
I've used MSD diagnostics / troubleshooting before, so I'm comfortable with that. I'll work through that and figure it out once I get the big problem sorted out.
