Won't start, after running
I posted this a week ago and made changes. So we have a 81 with a new starter, ignition module, you can see fuel being pumped through the jets, checked for spark is good !!! So when cold it cranks right up, after you run it for 10-15 min or longer turn it off and then try to start again it won't . It is turning over I see fuel but won't start ??
I am open for any
and all advice !!! Help

I assume it has a QuadraJet and if so is the choke opening all the way during the 15 minutes of running? If not your spark plugs are certainly fouled real bad. All the spark in the world won't fire soot-black spark plugs.

You have confirmed that you have fuel after 15 minutes. You need to confirm that you still have spark after 15 minutes.
Use the old screwdriver on a plug wire help close to the manifold while someone cranks it idea.
Did you use dielectric grease or heat sink compound on your ignition module?
