Most older fords will have an enertia "impact" switch that is designed to cut all power to fuel pumps in the event of an accident. Middle 80's to early 90's the switches were located on the passenger side floor board underneath the dash. Later model 90's had the swith located in the trunk.
Also you might want to look for a fuel pump relay on the passenger side inner fender under the hood. It should be a five wire harness plugged into a green plastic square shaped relay. I am assuming that your aerostar has a 3.0 liter V6.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
