Default '90 mustang LX 5.0 OBD1 Connecter?

I guess the title says it all, stopped at AutoZOne and they only have the OBD 2 machines, but said napa and Schmucks had the OBD 1 machines. Is there a connector and where is it?

My engine light keeps coming on, an every time I get on the gas pretty hard, especially freeway driving, I get a strong burning oil smell.

New tranny, and new remain, new oil pan, new oil pump, and oil pump gasket. I know I need to do something with the Distributor seal, it is leaking, not enough for the smell I am getting though.

Any ideas?

Its near the firewall on the drivers side up in the corner near the hood hinge.

I got one of these and it has payed for itself 5 times over already.
