I would start by replacing the fuel and air filter. Check the PCV valve or just replace it.
I believe Fords have several vacuum lines. Inspect them carefully as for their age could be rotted out.
1994 with only 27,000 miles shows that it will need new belts and hoses though that is not likely problem.
I'll check the PCV for sure - maybe some of the scraps of belt I found scattered around the engine knocked it sideways or something.
The seller says he replaced the drive serpentine belt recently but not the alternator belt I think. Could a hole in one of the vacuum lines cause the high RPM/low power issues I'm seeing?
