If it has an electric fuel pump you will be able to hear it hum when you turn the car to the run posistion. If you can not hear it hum then its bad. On a mechanical fuel pump you can loosen on of the lines and crank the vehicle. If no fuel comes out the it is bad

How do you trouble-shoot fuel-pump on 1988 t-bird?

Have someone turn on the ignition without starting the engine while you listen at the fuel filler with the door open and the fuel cap off. You should hear the pump run for a few seconds. If you do then you know the pump is running but it may not be pumping any fuel and may need replacing or the fuel filter is clogged. Replace the fuel filter and if the problem persists then you will have to have a fuel pressure test run on the pump. If you hear nothing then the fuse is blown, fuel pump relay is defective or the pump needs replacing.

How do you know if it's the fuel pump that went out?

Open the fuel filler door, and remove the fuel cap, and have someone turn the ignition switch on without starting the engine, while you listen at the fuel filler opening. If you hear the pump run then you at least know the fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay are good. But that does not necessarily mean the fuel pump is pumping fuel it might just be running. The only way to verify if it is putting out the proper pressure is with a fuel pump pressure test. If you do not hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds and then shut down, check the fuse and the rely for the fuel pump. If the fuse and relay are good you know the pump is defective and needs replacing. Be sure and replace the fuel filter.
