I'd use a stock AC Delco plug R44T I think they are, I used to run those and R43T's when I had cast iron heads on mine. I don't like octane booster, I like the Lucas fuel additive myself, about 9.00 a quart at O'reilly.

The 454 in my 66 chevelle street car has 145 autolites but I dont know what casting # heads it has.They are 1973 oval port truck heads.Its seems very similar to your motor : about 10-1 comp hyd cam RPM intake etc etc.
