Wierd ignition mod - Why would you do this?

Questions: Why would you do it?
Splicing 22 gage wire from the pick up coil to 18 gage for the ignition coils. Potential meltdown source?
I haven't tested the IC igniter yet. I'm wondering if it were bad and the PO just did this as a bypass. However, I haven't read about anything like this kind of setup.
Whaddaya think?

looks like the P.O. hacked the wiring on the dyna for some dumb reason. the red, black and green wires in the grey sheathing scream dyna. The rest of that mess screams hillbilly.

Questions: Why would you do it?....
Ignition converted to Dyna-S doesn't use the stock igniter.
Dyna-S wire does indeed resemble phone line.
Good Fortune!
