Default 85 Trans Am running rich

I just picked up a 85 Trans Am 305 carb motor. Car sat in guys driveway for 4 years. Started car up and it's running super rich, actually burns your eyes if standing behind it. Ran or 5 minutes then ran out of gas ( gas gauge read way past full, another problem I have to look into). Would bad gas cause the car to run rich? Engine actually sounds pretty good and runs smooth. I'm hoping plugs/cap/rotor/wires will cure the problem. Any other things I should look at?
