New member so be easy with me.

I have a 460 Ford crate motor that used to diesel. I installed an anti-diesel selenoid and it didn't cure things. Then I just shut down the car with it in gear and ease off the clutch to put a load on the motor so it wouldn't diesel. But then what really fixed it is that I increased my initial timing to 18-20 degrees which increased my idle speed. I then adjusted the idle on the carb back to 900 rpms, which of course meant my butterflies were closed more allowing idle through the idle slots only. No more problems.
