you install a jumper in the event your modern day electronic box goes belly up you can hit a switch and run on the points/coil to get you on your way.

Depending upon what coil you have and how much you have increased the spark plug gap, the coil may have a harder time firing the spark plugs, but it will get you home.

I'm still running the original single point distributor, original coil, and original coil wire. In the late 70's, I added a Delta Mark Ten CD ignition and it's never missed a beat. Yeah, I know, I'm running on borrowed time with the coil and wire.
