Had an old 82 Ford that I inherited from my dad. He let it sit around and decompose as well. It had low miles but he kinda let it sit with minimal upkeep.
It would run fine, but when I would accelerate, the air would start blowing from the defroster. Once I let off the gas, the air would return to the vents. The controls were vacuum operated and the hose was cracked enough that it would operate fine at idle, but under load it would malfunction.
Cheapest fix would be replacing ALL the vacuum tubing and work up from there. Based on the vehicle's age, it should really be done anyway.
X2 on what the previous poster said. Ethanol fuel in BAD on all fuel lines unless it is designed for it. I had to replace the lines in my weed eater & blower this year because the fuel eventually disentgrated them and turned them into a jelly like substance.
