Yea I could tell a previous owner had used an MSD box in my car since that's where he put it. There's some flat orange RTV still there. I assume that was 2 fold: To help keep it in place since only 2 bolts are able to be put in, and to keep down vibration from bouncing around due to only having 2 bolts in place 
I'd recommend getting the MSD cap and rotor while you're doing this (unless you just replaced the cap and rotor with a AC Delco one, then you should be fine), since there's more voltage going through the Opti, and CAN on rare occasion kill them :S I don't mean to frighten you, I just don't want you to be a victim of the gremlins. Also according to some members here, the stock coil puts out more in the higher RPMs than the Blaster coil, but the trade off is the low RPMs :\
EDIT: Since I can't see what you were pointing at TwoFast... I edited it lol
