To go through 25 gallons in 50 miles it has to be leaking fuel somewhere. It cannot be pulling that much gasoline through the carb and still be running, you would have large volumes of liquid fuel washing through the intake manifold and into the cylinders, a mixture too rich to usefully burn. "Runs great" says this is not happening.
Leak could be at the tank or anywhere from tank to carb inlet. 37 years old, there are a lot of gaskets and o-rings that could have deteriorated enough to not hold fuel under pressure. To say nothing about rubber or plastic segments in the fuel line.
