Got some help...

Thanks guys...
I got some help from another forum because this one just wouldn't load for me. The first thing I found wrong was the bracket that bolts my throttle assembly to the firewall was badly bent. This one thing alone fixed all my problems except the hard start. Turns out the pedal was only moving an inch or so (hence no power), plus the kickdown linkage wasn't parallel to the throttle linkage so it would bind between shifts, feeling like a slip. It's very powerful and shifts perfectly now!
As far as the plug gap, the .045 was recommended to me from a couple of sources, since I have all those high-energy ignition parts now. It does run smooth so I'm going to play with the timing more.
Another thing is that the ring on the crank pulley that has the timing marks has been known to slip. If I ignore the markings I can get it to run a lot nicer without pinging, although it still doesn't start as nicely as I'd like.
Thanks for your help, guys!
