I don't see why it can't be jumped, but, it might not help. I'm one of the few that has no problem using the modern plate as long as it isn't the wireless version. They appear to have their issues. If you jumper the upper plate to the housing do you get power to the points ? If you remove the distributor cable from the distributor housing do you have power at the end terminal ? If so, the switch isn't the problem.
