Hello everyone! I have been a Mark 8 owner since May 2019. Time has come for a tune up, everything on that car is stock from factory still.
I know that there are many discussions about this and I have read many of them but none offered me a specific answer. Also, I am not doing any mods to the car.

Spark Plugs: I was able to get my hands on the motorcraft plugs AGS32F I believe, platinum. Should I place double platinums or even a step cooler?
Wires: Ford Racing 9mm
Central Ignition Coil: I want to put Motorcraft, but they are harder to find vs MSD ones. I heard many people on forums advicing against these. But I guess it's 50/50.
Throttle Body: Should I take it out and clean it? It's been there since 96.
Air filter: standard paper filter.

I don't know if I am missing anything you would recommend on a car so old. I already had a lot of front work done, tranny oil changed (sadly I did not know about qualities of oil and when I was too late to cancel my mechanic)
I appreciate any input. Also, I live in Ventura County, CA, so if you know of any good mark 8 mechanics and part stores.

Have a good one everybody
