Default tune up question on 1988 5.0 LX

I am tuning up my 5.0 88 lx and i wanted to know what AT transmission fluid i should use? and also what the stock spark plug guage, is it .035 or .052??? Also i noticed when i put it in drive or Reverse it engages realyl really hard could that be due to lack of tranny fluid? and finally when i step on the gas i have to hit the pedal mad hard to get it to go,and the otherday i did it i guess the cable got hung up and held the throttle open almost killed me!! and sugestions????

Look in your Owners Manual for the Specs or for a Sticker under the Hood, my 92 says to gap the Plugs .052-.056 so right in the middle at .054 is where I set mine.
