You probably have Google on your computer. Try using it instead of doubling down on your ignorance.
The Sedis 8s were actually 7 speed chains because the Campy and Sachs 8 speed spacing was the same as 7. They probably worked fine on steeper Shimano mtb cassettes, though.
Yep. But cables and chains are the FIRST things I replace on old bikes. That and bar tape.
