Default at a loss

Hi guys,i bought a 1988 gmc s15 4x4,it had a 4.3 in it but was changed to a 305 h.o,bought it cheap needed body work but theres an engine problem i cannot figure out,when i picked it up to start it the guy had the hose from the washer bottle to the throttle body and had gas in it,give it a shot and it starts,sometimes stays running sometimes not,but it does not shoot gas by itself im not sure where to start with this im not good at mechanics but am trying to make this into a nice truck project....any ideas???
