One more trick: this phenomenon became common in the mid-70's when lead was taken away from gasoline and engines were made to run hotter, supposedly to reduce emissions, etc.
So, whenever an engine would diesel on shut-down, I had to do one of two things....(1) if it was an automatic, I'd put it back into Drive, then turn the key off....or (2) if it was a standard, I'd just let the clutch out as I turned off the ignition. My son's '69 had an engine that was a little more high-performance than mine. He had to run Premium in it, or it would diesel. Just my suggestion. The others have given you some things to check. But, for those times when you don't have tools or whatever, try my suggestions.
