Automatic Shift time

I just purchased a 78 Silver Anniversary (L82) for my Daughter. It has an Automatic tranny.
(This makes three Vettes, this is my first Automatic).
I had a 79 L48 4 speed, and I have a 96 LT4 6 speed.

The tranny looks new.
It shifts with a snap from First to Second and the third gear shifts almost immediately after second engages.

From first to second it feels ok (although shifts with a snap)
but it takes less than a second and it's changing to third and I can barely feel it...also, no snap like first to second.

Doesn't seem to want to accelerate like I expected in third either.

The fluid is clean and full (within the lines when hot)
Engine runs pretty good. No overheating, good oil pressure, no smoke from the tail pipe.

Any advice????
 
i have a 76 with a th350 auto tranny. i put a b&m shift kit in and the shifts from 1st to 2nd are extremely snappy but the shift from 2nd to 3rd arent as hard. It was about the same before the shift kit with the diff bet 1to2 and then 2to3.
