Pedal to the floor, lock-up should be about 55 mph, give or take, about the same as the maximum speed at which you can experience "kick-down" back into converter from DD.
In a 55/56, if you can't achieve this perhaps your accelerator pedal "stroke" is not correct. The very last version of the linkage adjustment that I'm aware of gave a reference to firewall dimension to first establish the accelerator pedal position. This was published in 1957 or later; I'll post if I already have it scanned.
