Ok, sparks, wires, dist cap, rotor replaced...engine works fine and smoother than yesterday. Friday is the VSS and since everything has gone so well, I'm thinking about flushing the coolant.
3 of my old sparks had oil on the threads and even up on the white ceramic part. How bad is that? Is there something else I should do even after replacing them with new ones and wires? I drove around a bit after swapping em and then pulled the cap off and checked...no oil. So what does it mean to have oil on my sparks?

Honestly man, I think you're doing a great job and you are well on your way to 250k and you may even pass it. And after reading this I think I am going to do the same to my 91. I have 210k miles already and it runs well, but I think the sea foam will help. And I am also trying to replace my vss. I've been without one for a month or 2 myself, but it is pretty hard to reach. I got mine online for like $35 and I just need to put it in now.
thanks for the support. I'm dreading the arrival of my vss ($35ish as well) cause I could barely get one hand on it (once I found it).
