As Vaughn said, 2500 is the max sustained engine speed.
As your speedo is likely dead or bounces at a non linear random rate like mine, get a dwell meter and attach it to the distributor.
Go for a ride and watch the revs. With your calibrated ear you can then equate that howling fan noise with the engine speed.
I think the tone at 42 mph is a B flat. Or is it a C sharp? I dunno, I put a tach in mine.
