accelerate

I have a 2001 Ford Ranger Edge 4X4. I have searched for a solution, but nothing is quite like what im experiencing. When i accelerate to, or while at highway speeds there is a high pitched whining noise coming from the front of my truck. With cruise control on the whining is much lower, but...

just got an 84 ranger, 2.8 v6. its my first project, and im stuck. im having problems accelerating, when i give it gas it doesnt wanna go very fast, it is carb, and ideas let me know.
