Why is my engine still going????

My engine seems to want to keep running for a few seconds after I shut if off......My idle is running a bit high after my carb rebuild......do you think this is the reason its dieseling a bit.????

Temp seems normal, and no knocking while driving.

Also.......how do you set the idle......Ive played with the screw by the throttle cable....doesnt seem to help....I have not touched the factory set mixute screws on the base, they are still sealed.

351 Holley 4180..........

try setting your base timming according to the emmission decal on the engine/truckother wise when you shut it off give it a little gas.

One way to keep it from running on is to shut the engine off while the vehicle is in gear.
