Opel Commodore A Coupe 3.5V8 1969

Maybe it's time for update.
After little wrestling with Finnish Transport Sagety Agency (TraFi) and GM Finland I finally got special permission for that engine, and little later I got car registered, that was late May.
Then I started adjusting MegaSquirt, and after week or two I got maps quite ok'ish. But... When I select D or R engine stalls, not every time but too often, original torque converter has very low stall speed, and I can't get engine idle that low. If I raise idle it's better, but then rearend start make klonk-sound, there's too much play with pinion and crown wheel.
Trunk was quite messy, so I made some cover and carpet for that:
Here is some random pics:
