Update to post.
I found the location of the OBD port.
I am providing information that I found while researching the location of the OBD port.
The 1997 Sun Sport has a GVR of 15200 lbs which uses a 7L490AA 460 engine. This engine does not have a catalytic converter and uses an OBD1 data port. The OBD1 type data port is Ford specific and is the type provided on most Fords through 1994. The port on my Sun Sport is located in the engine area, under the engine cover, on the drivers side wall next to the starter relay.
Most vehicles produced in 1997 have the OBD2 type ECM but there are some exceptions mostly on larger trucks.
A large truck repair shop told me the OBD port on Class A RVs can be located most any place in the area of ECM and at times they have a hard time finding it.
