Yes. You can do that if you are satisfied with the HD8BX.
When mounting the Y10-7-13 and aiming at magnetic 220 for WLOS, make sure it is at least 3' below (or above) your other antenna. Three to five feet separation is the goal.
How long are your coax run(s)? I would test Y10-7-13 after mounting by running coax unamplified into one TV to test reception. Then I would I add the amplifier in line and see if your results improve. Then finally, test with the chain fully set up. That is: antenna, coax, (preamp), (coax), (preamp power supply), A/B Switch, coax, (splitter), (coax), TV. Parenthesis indicate items in your chain with the use of the preamp. Being able to compare and contrast is good so you know your antenna performance in baseline scenarios and with your chain fully operational as well if there are problems at what stage issues are occuring.
Edit: Regarding only receiving PBS at magnetic 136. That makes sense. Two of the other translators are VHF (RF 2 and RF 9). This is likely the same issue you have with WLOS and the HD8BX. The antenna's VHF receiving ability is pretty much reserved for those in the excellent to good range. Those mentioned translators are in the moderate category. Thus, for reception of CBS and NBC's translators you need an antenna with stronger 2-13 VHF support in conjunction with UHF support..
