Why won't my engine shut off? (Dieseling)

I set the timing today, spot-on correct now. It runs quite a bit better now and I can tell it has quite a bit more power. Nick and I drove it around town today, for the first time since painting it. What a hoot!

But it still runs on when I turn the key off.

Help me out with the timing stuff here: Looking at the "vibration damper" with the markings on it, the manual has you set it 5* BTC, which is the 5 to the right of the 0. That's where I set it now. Before I adjusted it, it was 5* ATC(?), or on the 5 to the left of the 0. Probably past the 5, actually. And it dieseled on me then too.

Any quick-n-dirty ideas? Do I want to advance it a bit more? Would adjusting the idle mixture affect this? (I haven't set that yet, come to think of it, since rebuilding the carb.) Any thoughts?
