Eventually going to tune up the ole 92 f150 302 with some ford racing plug wires and install a hotter coil.
What would be a good plug to run with this combination?
Currently has crappy omni spark wires and motorcraft plugs with stock coil.
The motorcraft plugs are not crappy. And the stock coil is very sufficient. If you do the "six liter" tune up, you may see some benefits, but probably not enough to feel a difference from the factory coil. It will keep up with more rpm than the stock motor will turn.

I'm not knocking the motorcraft plugs just the omni spark wires.
I opted to just put regular Motorcraft copper plugs in mine. I don't think you'll see much of an improvement over anything else unless you are building a race truck.
I run autolites in all mine, good set of wires and just make sure the cap and rotor are in good working order and it will run good. If the coil has been on the vehicle since it came off the factory line getting a new one will sometimes help the engine out a little from my own experience.
So you haven't had any problems with Autolites?
The last two times I bought them at least one out of the eight wouldn't fire.
All the bad ones had loose insulators and were impossible to gap.

I don't have time for that.
If you are refering to me I personally have not had any of the issues you have mentioned with any plugs to date. Now it has been a few months since I have bought any but a few months ago when I got some for my 351W build i noticed no issues and gaped all with no trouble.
Yes, I was asking you.
It's been a couple of years since my issue with 25's, but my experience was enough to dissuade me.
(Nothing like doing a tuneup, and tearing your hair out figuring why it now runs like $#!+)
