A 14' antenna is hardly needed (severe overkill). A medium range 7-69 antenna is all that is required. No amplifier should be needed with predicted NMs in the 40s. A pre-amp or distribution amplifier won't hurt anything but there should be no need for one if that TVfool forecast was accurate.

With only one exception, all of your TSP stations transmit from the same area (Riverview). That exception is WTSP which is currently broadcasting from a tower location at Holiday/Tarpon Springs. It should be the only reason you would need to change the aiming point of your antenna. WTSP will be relocating their transmitter from the Holiday area to the same area as everyone else sometime this spring or summer. Once that move is complete, re-aiming the antenna should not be needed. At a distance of only 8 miles, I'd suspect an overloaded amplifier or tuner or FMI before anything else.

If you'd like to try to salvage your current antenna, start with the basic maintenance that Dave L mention: Clean connections, new balun transformer, new down-lead cable, etc. Also, relocate that existing amplifier to a point on the antenna side of the splitter as it will do much better there. Locate it as close to the antenna as physically possible meaning the shortest cable run that you can achieve.
