Default 1988 2.3L problem

just got my engine back together and the truck ready for the road,

i go to pull out, and the engine is racing. and when i pull out (stick shift) i put my foot to the floor and it does hardly anything.

i know for sure it has a vaccum leak, but i know that alone wont make it slower than a battery powered scooter.

any ideas? timing? clutch? sensors?
