I'd definitely replace or service the Optispark system now. It was a known weak spot in LT1 engines.

You missed the part where he said he's putting a traditional intake and distributor in it.

OP you'll be good to go, what trans are you using?

All good since you're using the holly set up you won't need any info from the trans so you'll be good to rock and roll.
