Dieseling is caused by a buildup of carbon thats red hot and continues to fire the fuel when the ignition is turned off.

I'm sorry but I have to respectfully disagree with the dieseling only being caused by carbon. Straight off after rebuilding my 350 it dieseled (and still does). I doubt that after 10 minutes of run time that enough carbon had built up to cause dieseling. The only thing that seemed to decrease it was changing the brand of spark plugs.
Sorry, I was not trying to "hijack" this post but I just thought I should bring that up. And way to go 1965 C10, I drive my 66' to high school everyday too
