Tom,
Retire the old ball, I had my fathers old Manhattan Rubber ball, average 113, new ball, new grip, average almost 175. Seriously, the bowling technology has changed greatly over the last few decades. Your old ball will not work well on the new lanes and well oiled finishes.
IMHO, Go to Spanish Springs, ask for Jack Shmitt, a really great trainer, have him observe you throwing your old ball, get his opinion on what you need. The go to RSW Pro shop Guava Street (near 441 and 466), talk to Rob, and he will do a great job getting you a new ball.
Hope this helps, and hope to see you at bowling.
