Having a power valve isn't a bad thing.  You just need to know how much vacuum your engine is producing to make adjustments.

Personally if the carb came off of something even similar to what you have, I'd say try it as it is and then make adjustments based on how it works.

Just for a quick reference the 660 Holley (list 4224) came factory with a blocked PV and had 76 primary jetting, while the 650DP (list 4777) came with 67 primary jets and a PV.

Now an 850DP (list 4781) would have come with 80 pri / 78 or 80 sec jetting and 6.5 PV pri & sec.  So, if the secondary power valve is blocked off the jump to 88's is going to be a good starting point.

As far as spark plugs go, I'm kinda old school.  If it works, don't mess with it.  I run Autolite #26.
