Sounds like they are trying to make a terrible set up work. They disconnected them because the engine would bog and die when you stomped on it. A 302 at 100% volumetric efficiency (not usually possible with a street engine)will only flow 567 CFM at 6500 RPM. Even an unstreetable, full out, ballz to the wallz, purpose built race 302 can't flow more than 800 CFM at 7500 RPM.
If you want this car, plan on either getting two correct carbs. or better yet, a single carb. and manifold. What's on there now is garbage.
