They do need changing every 15-20K or so but that is easy. the aftermarket Pertronix and such have quality control issues, and many Fail in a couple years. Also should I use original Bosch > plug wires and plugs? I like the Bosch plugs... and just use standard copper core wires with the original ends if you still have them. I have a Bosch blue coil. Is that a good choice? No, Junk! The original Black ones last forever and give more than adequate spark. Also > I want to go with a full flow oilsystem with a filter. I was looking at one > from Gene Berg. Good or bad idea? Good idea, BUT, First off you need to install it when the whole engine is apart. Secondly, it robs oil pressure. You still have plenty with a new engine but there is a point when you may very well need to take it off so that you will have adequate oil pressure with an older engine at an idle when its fully warmed up.
