Fuel Delivery Advise

Recently acquired my 87 V-10 which was converted from TBI to carb. The truck runs terrible as if there's bad gas or the carb is gunked up.

The drivers side fuel tank is inop and the 1 on the passenger side is the only 1 used.

Question is if the truck was TBI would the tanks have fuel pumps in them instead of the mechanical one on the block?

And if so would some sort of regulator have to be used to slow the fuel delivery to the carb?

I am thinking about dropping the tanks and cleaning them out. I figure that would be the best place to start. I don't know if the tanks are metal of not and hopefully wont be to terrible of a job to remove them and clean them out.

I would like to just use the drivers side tank and just run a new line to the fuel pump.

Any advise would be welcomed..
