Dive and drive. I'd have hit SPARKS outbound flaps 5 and 180, gone out bound a minute, flaps 15 in the turn slowing to 150, gear down established inbound followed by flaps 25 and 30. Crossing SPARKS inbound if you halve the fuel flow (727 with JT8D engines) it took you to hold 8200 feet in the landing configuration it will set up a 900 foot per minute descent to 6700, power back up to hold MDA till DICEY and then when you have the runway in sight whatever looks right.
