Before anything else, check that you can hear the relay engage when you turn the key to the preglow position. If you don't hear it click, try tapping it on the side or on top. Also make sure that the strip fuse inside the glow relay is intact.
Is the glow relay under the dash on the 81 with the pencil style plugs or is it in the engine compartment?

On a 1981, it should be on the driver side front inner fender.
