Dieseling can damage the motor. Many cars in the old days (~65 to ~85) had a anti-dieseling solenoid. It was an electric device that acted as a throttle stop. When energized, it positioned the throttle at its proper place, but when the key was turned off, the throttle was allowed to close even more to eliminate the run-on. Try higher octane gas and make sure your initial timing is correct. If that does not cure the problem, its time to search thru some junk yards for the solenoid and bracket from a car with your motor.
