Governed speed limmit should be 64-ish. Is your tack and and speedometer accurate? A GPS can give you accurate speed as a reality check. Your tack should be steady as you modulate the throttle somewhat, to prove that the transmission is truly in lock-up. Your transmission has a throttle position sensing cable that assists the transmition as far as shift points and I think lock-up; make sure this is in adjustment.

Your 82 is pretty heavy for a 3208NA, under certain load conditions 55 miles per hour will be as good as it gets, but if your at 2700 RPM and locked up, that should be about 61 mph. Consider changing the transmition fluid if you've never done that.
