The water pump makes me think it's a 366 or 427 truck big block. Truck had about 1/4 inch taller block deck, different heads, different intake, other little differences that pop up when unexpected. Look on the sides of the block, behind the motor mount boss, see if it says PASS or TRUCK cast in raised letters. Truck will be the high block deck.
They had a reputation for dropping valves. I would get some oil in the cylinders, see if it will turn over, run a compression test before worrying about anything else.
If it does look like it will run, best pull the valve covers and rocker arms, look at the ends of the valves and ends of the rockers. They will pit and wear. That's what breaks off the valves.
The carb looks like a mess, it will most likely need a kit and a new float. Looks like the fuel filter nut is missing, threads in the carb body might be stripped or cross threaded. Trash the regulator. If it has an electric pump, get rid of that too, put a stock mechanical pump back on. Probably will need new fuel hoses at the pump, tank, and anywhere else if there is a dual tank set up. Good chance the tanks have nasty old gas or worse.
It's definitely a hybrid of parts. Probably not the right distributor, for sure not the right carb.
The vacuum lines will work as is, but not exactly correct.
Pray for it, it's gonna need all the help you can get it!
