Could be either one, brother. Too much timing or too rich of a mixture can cause run-on. You should also make sure that your advance weights and rotor aren't sticky. Pop off the distributor cap and make sure everything is kosher under there...

In the mean time leave it in gear when you shut it off so it can't Diesel, then put it in park.

I always thought that dieseling was caused from a build up of carbon deposits on the heads, and the way to cure it was to spray some cold water down the carb to break it loose. /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong. /forums/images/graemlins/deal.gif
Yes, SpearChucker you are correct. Spraying a fine-mist of water into the throat of the carburetor, while the engine is running, has worked successfully for me in the past; when I had an old clunker engine that I needed to last a few more miles until I rebuilt it. Another thing that should be looked into is a fuel leak in the carburetor main-body gasket. The carburetor could be continuing to feed it gas after it has been shut down.
Shut it off in gear. Check your timing and plugs to see if it's running rich or lean.
most common problem to cause it to run on is fuel still being drawn into the motor. Check that your butterfly's are shut in the carb when the gas peddle is not depressed, when you are idling and also when shutting the motor off the carb should only be drawing fuel through the idle jets, so if the butterfly's are open even just a little then the motor will still be sucking gas and air... /forums/images/graemlins/deal.gif

turn idle speed down or retard the ignition timing a little bit, this is a very easy problem to correct, and is common but can damage the engine if you allow it to continue
good luck

I rode in a friend's car one time. After we got where we were going and shut the engine off, it ran on for, no joke, 30 seconds! /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif

Like Limey said...use tranny fluid instead of water. I've done this literally hundreds of times on different vehicles I've owned and worked on and yes, its always fun to watch the garage and neighborhood get all smoky white. /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif

Got ya beat. After plowing once this past winter our truck was nice and toasty. I shut it off and it dieseled so for shits and giggles I let it go...after at least a minute I got bored and let the clutch out to stop it. Thanks for the tranny fluid tip. My 86 blazer has started that dieseling crap now too.

Don't just dump a whole bunch in. Pour in a little bit in a time. Make sure you do it outside. Lots and lots of smoke.
I was bringin back to life an old motor in my uncles garage and I had folks stoppin thinkin there was a fire. /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif
Be prepared to be usin two hands. One to pour and one to keep crackin the throttle.
Good luck to y'all in the future.
