you know it is largely a matter of where man meets machine, the machine wears out even if an optical device, there will be pivot points that go "crumbly" over time and create failure...take a look at your ignition switch after all these miles...bet a guy could jam a flat blade screwdriver into the ignition and turn if he wanted a free car~
new tires? how is your tire pressure??.. if i had it at 32 psi + it would roll that strongly. like i had overdrive really pulling. also.....800 rpms are just a tad high for this engine. 650-700s are norm. is your vaccuum lines old? replace those old rubber lines.
