coil on plug

OK, not really a Packard topic, but
My mine has been thinking of this, and
I have found no answer or anyone who could
answer this, so I'll give you guys a chance.

In todays new cards, they have coil near plug
and coil on plug (Ford) and others.

The computer and a trigger on the crank usually
run this setup

But what is this not possible for an older car

install Coil on plug or Coil near plug (your choice0
Then run the 12v coil wire to the High Tension lead
and let it run 12v dc down the "old spark plug wires
to the new coil setup". if this works we can then
makeup some regular 12/14g wire and run them from
the distributor to the COP.
What is wrong with this setup??
yes I know we would get rid of the 7 or 8 mm plug wires.
