Hmmmm, I wonder if that is one of the reasons Sophy has started running rougher than normal.  I still have the same spark plugs in her from when I rebuilt the engine approximately 65k miles ago.  Standard point ignition too.  I believe they are standard Bosch W8AC plugs as well.  Nothing fancy.

I do plan to pull her engine this winter and give it a once over.  I think it is time.
