I am not all that familiar with that particular vehicle but it may be either a converter with a high stall speed and lots of slip at normal road speeds or possible a totally shot converter / trans ass'y.
I would find someone who knows these cars backwards and get it them. They should be able to tell you fairly quickly.
Try a local "old school" car club or an internet search.
