spark plugs and wire recommendations

Don't want anything crazy, just stock parts.

What plugs do you guys recommend? What brand? Same with wires.

I go to Advance Auto, would you guys trust their house brand stuff?

I use Accel copper core wires on everything. Along with Autolite or Motorcraft plugs.

Goofy question, I know. But Will Advance sell me Autolite or Motorcraft plugs and wires? Well, I guess what I mean is, will they have them in stock? Or should i just get them online? Cuz if I have to wait for Advance Auto to get them for me, I might as well just order them myself from a website.

I'll just get OE parts, the previous owner of the engine was a mechanic and he had all Motorcraft parts on it. Plugs/wires/oil filter/air filter/ect. That's gotta count for something, right?

What do I gap the plugs to? .44?

I work at advance, we do carry autolite and motorcraft plugs. and have plugs and wires for "most" applications. OE stuff can be overnighted most times depending on what it actually is, just ask the sales rep.
