With out knowing if this is a Electric fuel pump or Mechanical? I will describe some symptoms.
Electric. Can be noisey! No sound from the pump when the key is turned on! The rail pressure may be reduced by either a leaking check valve or pump. Causing a hard to start situation. If you turn the key on and off a few times, listen for the pump humming sound. Usually a good place to start with all fuel problems is to replace the fuel filter. There are intank filters and external filters on the frame rail. Also as a rule of thumb..if the vehicle has over 125,000 miles...the pump may just be tired. You may even go to AUTOZONE repair guide section for your car for specifics. Electric pumps generate 65 to 100 pounds of pressure...so be careful cracking a line...gas can cause a fire quickly. Be safe always working around gasoline.
If you have a mechanical pump.....you can crack the fuel line at the carburetor and put a container under the line. have someone crank the engine and see if there is fuel coming out of the line. Most older mechanical pumps run 4 to 7 pounds of pressure, but as I said..alway be careful with gasoline. And dispose of any rag out side of your garage..where the house doesn't go up in smoke in the middle of the night. Good luck
