The gal who bought my 73-23 Glacier out of Santa Cruz, Ca. has started to
experience dieseling when shutting down. She has had to pull it into gear on
occasion to get it to quit. She did not experience that before putting it
into a 6 month storage outside last winter.
Thoughts please.

put in premium gas if that sols the problem, and it did mine, run higher octane gas and or adjust the timing.
i usually alternate 87 and 93 about every half tank and no running on.
1977 Kingsley 455 as stock as it gets except lots of Ragusa parts

Set the idle properly. Low.
Don't blame gas.

My newly rebuilt 455 with a remanufactured carb had a dieseling problem. I set the idle as low as possible and reset the timing +/- a couple of degrees. To no avail. On the advice of JimB I switched to non-ethanol fuel. Problem solved.
