Problems with 1997 F150

I recently purchased a 1987 F150 with a 5.0 Liter engine (302). It was previously owned by my Uncle who never drove it due to a problem with the fuel system. It has dual tanks and it has had 2 new tanks put on it. It has also had new pumps put in the tanks and the main fuel pump replaced. Both fuel pump relays have been replaced and it still goes dead for no reason. It getting fire and tries to turn over. Sometimes it will run, sometimes it will not. Has anyone had this problem with this year/model?

You need to hook up a fuel pressure gauge and see what it says.
