Is it possible your oil is overfilled by a significant amount (at least 1.5
qts)?

Check under the hood for a loose vacuum hose or wires. Let it idle and
carefully start wiggling stuff. MAP sensor vacuum hose comes to
mind..................Does the check engine light ever come on?

And I don't mean going fast. It recently started knocking really bad and
smoking like crazy. It happens mostly as I start off, at a certain point it
will suddenly happen. Then it might run ok for a while, then go back to
this knocking-smoking thing. Sometimes I can hardly get going at all before
the knocking and smoking starts. I have to really ease off the gas until I
get some momentum going. Seems like whatever handles the timing just hangs
up. I don't know. Any ideas? Thanks.
