knocking around 70 mph

My dad's 88 suburban (350 TBI) has started knocking when ever we start going like 70 mph or so, it doesn't happen when you rev it but aren't going fast, only on the freeway. Replaced the EGR valve but that didn't help.
Any ideas??
Thanks

use higher octane gas, that should get rid of the knock(if not I don't know what to tell you)
