280ZX RPM Question.
Just bought me my first 280ZX, been wanting one since High School, and finally got around to getting one.
Question is: I have an automatic transmission, and the RPM's appear to be high for the speed. about 2900 at 55, and about 3400 at 65 mph. This appears to be high to me. Can someone enlighten me on the shift points for this car? It's a 1981 280ZX, 2 seater with the 2.8 liter engine.

Need to put struts n shocks in there asap, then start battling the rust issues. Water pump may need replacement, but once those things are done, I'll have a good running car, just cosmetic from there on out.

Notice the Transmission selection is limited to MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS... not AUTO.
