Thanks. I found 1 plug. Is it OBD 1 or 2?

OBD1.

Look for the other. Did you find the small square or the rectangle ish one?

Its rectange ish, with a slightly sloped bottom on it. 3 wires goin to it.

There is one small single plug with 1 wire, comming out of the same part of the wire loom. The only tester I have is a OBD2. Guess I gotta get another one. When I disconnected the battery, would it have erased the codes? I am in the middle of a no start, It just died and I replaced the TFI, Dist, Coil, Fuel pump relay! Have no spark at coil or plugs. Tried starting fluid and not even a sputter!!

Your tester won't work. Try and get your hands on a NGS(new generation star) tester. Yes that is the other connector. If the battery has been disconnected for more than about 20 min then the codes should erase. GL with your diagnosis.
