only a fuel injected ford has an inertia switch (red button) on it to interrupt the fuel flow. The easiest way would be to take the fuel line off at the carb and if you have a vacuum gauge you can check to see if it has any pressure. Most mechanical fuel pumps put out 3-5 pounds of pressure. If you don't have pressure then check the line at the pump from the tank. Usually if you take the line off with the gas cap on, there is enough suction to have gas run out. You can also put an air gun into the filler neck and with low pressure and very short blast you should get fuel to flow. If that is okay then the pump probably went out. If you have the vacuum gauge you can check the pump also by hooking it up to the tank side fitting and cranking it and it should create a vacuum.
