It all sounds pretty reasonable as to what Matt has been telling you, but I would add a FYI.
Those little metal inserts in the HEI module are floating and sometimes don't conduct the ground unless they are squeezed down enough to make a good contact with the backing aluminum.
Bolting the module down to a backing plate/heatsink should be sufficient for that.
Here's a wiring comparison for you.
Your plugs should be sufficient but need to have the gap opened up to around .045
