What engine? Dual tanks or single?
Are you saying it was EFI which was converted to carb? Did the PO ever have it running or just half done? The entire electrical system (computer sensors etc) would have been replaced. The entire fuel system would have been replaced.
The original EFI has low pressure fuel pumps in the tank(s) and a high pressure fuel pump on the frame rail. Not sure if the HPFP would be suitable on the carb? EFI was only available on the 302 (5.0l) at the time.

We can't know what the PO has done so in order for anyone to be of any help here you will need to trace and document what the PO has done and then post specific detailed questions.

few things you can do... first off make sure all hoses are at the proper ports, check all the fuel lines sometimes they get gunked up, see if fuel pumps are pulling ( if not get some from like autozone cheap or something), take carb off might be gunked up from sitting some times that happens(if so pull carb off and spray it with carb cleaner usually takes a whole can and use a wrag to whip it down) pay attention to where everything goes for when you put it back together it will save a lot of busted knuckles
