I think Champions are OEM, never had bad luck with ac delco, motorcraft, autolites, or NGK. I dont waste my money on bosch or any of the others. I would get the platinum tips though. the gap specs are 0.040" (1.01 mm)
Fuel filter/regulator assy is located in front of the fuel tank and above the rear axle, it has 2 lines going in and 1 going out. Sorry no pics.

Acdelco work great with GM.
I'll be getting the champions for the jeep. I hope they are not to expensive.
What do I get done on the tune up,
Spark plugs, oil change , oil filter, gas filter, air filter. What else I'm a missing ?
I'll be doin the work my self. First time working on a jeep lol.
The gas filter seems easy to swap.
Anything I need to b4 I do the work let me knw pls

Cap,? I thought if it has coils don't need the cap.
I got some champion Cooper. Would they work good as the platinum?

Yep, you have coil packs, no cap, no rotor.
As for the spark plugs, you can't really have the best of both relatively speaking, but for a stock engine it doesn't really matter that much. Copper is about the best conductor you can get, maybe with the exception to silver, but copper plugs won't last as long as platinum. For all out performance you really cant beat copper.
Expect to get around 30k miles out of a set of copper, this is a general interval as I have seen copper plugs last much longer than that.
Expect to get around 100k out of a set of platinums, and the same goes as above, I have seen platinums last much longer than that too.

I decided to go for champion cooper.
The guy at the autoparts said it was the best option.
So I got those.
How hard is to change the gas filter ?
