Ron,
Assuming you have a decent set of plug wires, I doubt you'll see the improvement that I saw when replacing plugs and wires. Once I figured out what I had for plug wires (particularly the plug wire ends that actually attach to the plugs themselves), I tried to document it here: (with admittedly pretty crummy pics)
`https://www.speedsterowners.com/topic/spark-plug-wire-came-off-while-driving
I'm no electrician, but I've done plenty of 12v wiring aboard my various boats over my lifetime, and I can tell you, the spark plug ends on my old wires were cobbled together junk.
At any rate, I replaced the 7mm bosch wires with Pertronix 8042 8mm Flamethrower wires and the Bosch WR8AC plugs with NGK BR5HS plugs. I used practically every suggestion I got on that spark plug thread ( plus some tool advice from Gordon from a search) - without all that great advice, I'd probably still be out in the garage trying to get the job done!
Bill

Thank you, Bill!
