She already is capable, now she will be more capable, lol. I went through and greased every zerk, but some wouldn't take. Is it ok to use a grease rejuvenator?

Also want to mention one of the most important things about a 292. They like to breathe. If you change the stock muffler to a straight thru muffler you will gain performance and fuel mileage.

I used to run the GMC V-6 straight thru muffler years ago, but they don't make them anymore. A glass pack is a good alternative. The extra bonus is that it will also sound better.

Also check and/or change your PCV valve.

Well, is there a way to replace the whole exhaust, all 5 feet of it? It is really rusty, and not very tight, but idk if you can get the flange, but i suppose i could cut the old one off, and weld a new pipe on from there.

Call around to a few local part stores to see if a new one is available, but I would say that you will most likely find them to be disontinued. The next best thing to do is to bring it to a muffler shop and they can custom make one for you. I would go to an independant shop rather than a franchised shop as you will probably have better luck there and maybe even a lower price.
