Spark plugs. Why is it so hard?

Bad on me . I thought I was running auto lite. 3924. Nope. I using the ngk zfr6f-11g. also referred to as the 6987 NGK. I probably did this based on what Andy finkbeiner uses and recommends. These plugs have been through a bit. Some of my amateur mistakes were a leaking vacuum at the intake and a bolt on O2 sensor that leaks and caused the motor to run incorrectly. Finally, I ran the drag strip with plug wires 7 and 8 loose or disconnected. and burnt the 6 plug wire on the headers. Man, this feels like going to confession revealing all my failures. BUT, the reason I tell all of this is that I have learned a lot along the journey the past couple years and hopefully, I have corrected everything.

My question now is, Would you run them as is or buy some new ones? I don't know how to read the plugs to know if they are ok.

I did buy some plug insulators, fixed the wires, the 02 sensor was welded and the intake does not leak anymore.

If your still working on tuning, put some new plugs in. Otherwise, I’d run the set you just shared a pic of..
