If you have a Pertronix switch and especially if you have a high voltage coil, when the coil fires its voltage rises and an arc of current is liable to fire just about anywhere it can so long as the spark gap distance isnt so great the coil cant achieve a sufficient high voltage.......i.e. if theres any dirt or moisture or carbon or oil traces and unless you have quality wires and cap etc she may misfire other then the place intended (just like lightning strikes and current takes the path of least resistance) .....I think they use a hall effect trigger switch and it dont take much either there or if you manually or accidentally make then break the flow of current through the coil shes gonna fireeeeeeee. Jiggling wires can simulate points or an elec switch action which causes the coil to fire.
Get it timed and have a good quality clean cap n rotor and GOOD HIGH VOLTAGE PLUG WIRES n Ima thinkin she is fine..
