Default Just pulled plugs and they are black!!!!
had BKR7E's in and they opened up to .032 from .030 in about 10K or so. I'm putting in the PFR6Q again so what would be a preferred gap?

Default Mine were mostly nice and toasty to a bit lean
I did have some oil on the top side of them from a leaky valve cover gasket. I think mine were in for 7500 miles or so. IIRC PFR6Qs get gapped to 0.032.

Default fuel filter is pretty easy...
there's more gas in it than you would expect though so have a receptacle ready. Maybe where safety glasses too as even if you wait awhile there will probably still be some pressure in the lines. Oh yeah, make sure you install the new filter with the arrow pointing the right direction It'll probably take a bit of cranking when you restart the car too.
