carb woes

Got a 84 f150 with a 302 and a bad carb. What is the easiest, cheapest way to get it running? Had it rebuilt but the guy didn't know what he was doing.

What makes the carb "bad"? Chances are its just out of tune or needs some simple parts swapped onto it. Easiest way to fix it though is snag a carb from a 302 at the junkyard

Has the emissions equipment been butchered with?

Chances are it's a feedback carburetor that is computer controlled, as it's an 84.
