35th T-bird SC

I got the exhaust on and the car won't idle. Runs if I keep it around 1500. I was getting some drops of clear looking fluid out the tailpipes. Is this condensation from somewhere. The whole exhaust is brand new just put on this weekend. I'm not seeing good signs like bubbles in the overflow tank but that could be air in the system. No signs of oil in the coolant or coolant in the oil. My temp gauge does work I just had to let it run for 5 minutes. It got up to the middle range when it stalled as I tries to get it to idle warm. Now the starter doesn't want to work. Just get a click up near the battery when I turn the key so I can't run it more to diagnos the hissing air and whine I hear around the throttle body and SC area mainly at idle before it stalls. I might break down and get it towed to the Ford dealer this week. I turned the crank by hand ratchet to rule out the seizure or hydraulic lock that maybe would keep the starter from working. It turned easily. I'm not enough of a Super Coupe guru to figure this thing out, I'm getting frustrated because I put a lot of money into this rebuild and thought I did everything the right way.
