Thanks all for your input!

I changed the ignition module and the issue persists but while running the car in my driveway I noticed another thing: once it shut down the dual soak fans continued running (expected), but I noticed that while cooling down there's a power surge every now and then (as if they restart?) - I'm now inclined to thing I may have some power or grounding issues...I'll try and take a video tomorrow but does that resonate with you all?

Have a new starter and fuel pump coming in the mail today so video will take a minute but in the meantime, in addition to adding dual electric fans, one t hing i know slightly changed was the wiring to the starter

If memory serves me right, 2 of these 3 wires were joined through a fusible link of sorts but now i have 3 separate wires with 3 fusible links. they all have continuity at the connector so i doubt that could be an issue but at this point figured i'd confirm
