Diagnostic Connector Plug

I have a 94 F250 7.3 diesel. I'm looking to get more power when towing my Jet Boat. I got a Evolution Programmer from Edge. I cant seem to find the Diagnostic Connector plug in, I have looked under the dash on the drivers side,under the dash by the power port, and even under the glove box. I have checked under the hood too, I NEED HELP in a bad way.
PS Pictures would be helpful

It's normally under the hood near the firewall on the driver's side by the fender (where the ignition module would be if it were a gas engine).

Be aware this is an OBD 1 computer, not sure if your programmer thing is gonna be able to do anything with it.

No such connector at all.

OBD II computers didn't come out until, um, 1996, and the US Government mandated manufacturers put the connectors in the same places under the dashes and follow some standards with how they operate.

1994 was a transition year from the older IDI diesel engine to the DI (Powerstroke). Depending on which one is in your truck will determine if you can use that programmer. I am not a diesel expert, but the folks in these Forums are:

1994.5 - 1997 7.3L Power Stroke Diesel - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

Pre-Power Stroke Diesel (7.3L IDI & 6.9L) - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
