Sounds like your starter nees to be replaced with a high torque starter. It may be new, but could be defective. Load test your battery as well, under a load for at least 10 seconds the battery should maintain 10 volts. Put a meter across the terminals nd crnk the engine and look at your readings on the volt meter. Does it hold the 10V? Do the battery cables get very hot? If they do, then yank that starter out.
Double check your timing too. If the timing is too far advanced, you will get a slow hard crank. You either have it too far advanced or the distributor is off a tooth or more.. If you remove the #1 plug and have someone tap the motor over until you get to the compression stroke and you see the timing mark ligned up to TDC, stop cranking the engine. Remove the distributor cap and look at your rotor, it should be pointing right at your terminal for the #1 plug. If it does not, then remove the dist. from the engine ad drop it back in where the rotor points to #1.
Good Luck....

On my way to work this morning on the freeway and I'm doing about 75mph in the left lane. On the lane to my right I see a very nice 1988 or 89 Mustang GT vert. doing about 70mph. As I pass the GT I notice a good looking asian woman driving it (must have been in her late 20's early 30's) so as I pass her she changes lanes and gets behind me and then she rides my ***. I increase up to 85mph and believe it or not she does too. By the time I moved out of the left lane to get off at my exit we are doing about 100mph. This was not really a race because I know I could have raped her but it was rare seeing an asian woman driving a well kept GT (even had clean stock rims).
Around here 99% of Asian woman drive imports, but I thought it was so sexy seeing that Asian woman run her Stang and not be afraid of opening it up. I gave her a wave and she gave me the cutest smile.....

my first guess would be the battery but if that is ok then it could be many different things. try backing off your timing as you crank it over. if it is too advanced then that will happen

either you have to much compression for your starter or your battery is dead. get a high torque starter if its a high compression motor or get a new battery

make sure all connestions are good and tight, but it could be the alternator have you tried jump starting it? is the starter new if not it could be that
