Coolant is done. What brand fuel filter do you recommend and what type of spark plugs? Thanks

Repeating what was said plus adding on: sparkplugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter, clean or replace PCV valve, clean throttle body or carburetor, flush fuel injectors if applicable. Possibly flush transmission.

I don't think the plugs are necessary. Doesn't Ford recommend them @ 100k miles?
