No special reason. I do run a dual intake with both carb vac ports plugged. Manifold seemed easier.

It is needed to energize and collapse the magnetic field in the ignition coil. The reluctor and pickup are only a passive triggering device. They are unable, alone, to operate an ignition coil. I mounted it externally because there is no room for it inside the distributor.
