New Motor - trick flow

[Black 93 Fox]

I got my new motor running last night. Frist problem is the starter is having really bad issues turning the motor over it will slowly crank and then it will start. Second I have a whistle sound coming from the intake area. I think it might be the IAC but im not sure. I cant figure out any wear else it would come from. My mods are 306 with trick flow top end kit track heat. Also anyone else with this kit what do you guys idle at? Im idleing around 900rpm but it kinda jumps from the cam up to 1100. Also what do you guys run your timing at for driving around the street.

Make sure there is no vacuum leaks or any other sort of leaks like that

I have the Street Heat Kit. my idle finally is staying still at 900 after i got the chip done. timing is set at 16'. your idle might be jumping from that leak around your intake, becuase the cam makes it jump but not by that much. good luck with it

Ive checked everything so i think im gona throw my spare IAC on and see if it whistles. I cant find any other leaks.

for the starting prob, it is prob your timing. think it is to far retarded, therefore firing way before TDC and the starter has to turn the crank while the piston is still on the compression stroke for the extra amount of time. for just getting it running and putting around town, start with 10* BTDC. also check your power wire(corrosion?) for the starter. also check the block/frame ground as well. is your battery charged as well?

vacuum leak, check the gasket on the IAC. check the pcv valve and hose. those are a booger to put on with the upper intake is on. unless you know that it is on.
