It look's like it needs a total rebuild. The throttle shafts, probably the plates. The stacks need to be cleaned/scalded/something, and it seems to be missing the Maytag pump the Algon system used.
Your best bet would be to convert it to EFI. That would mean getting the basic manifold cleaned up and functioning.
After that, it's pretty simple. If it is seeming difficult to you, maybe you should let someone else take over the project.
The project goes like this:
1) rebuild/refurbish the manifold
2) drill out and tap the existing injection holes for modern electronic injectors
3) locate, drill and tap holes to mount the fuel rails to
4) mount fuel rails over the injectors
5) decide what efi system you'll be using
6) you need to mount a MAP, MAT and water temperature sensor, find spots for those. The MAP might require a box linked up to each runner to get an "average" vacuum reading.
7)...
I'm tired of typing, let me know if you really want to learn more.
Total cost for conversion is probably going to be north of $5,000.
Good luck.
