I've been searching for a obd 1 cable for my computer for a while now and all i can find is for gm does one for ford exist?
 
If your trying to get codes on an obd1...use a jumper wire...If you need a diagram...lemme know I'll load it up
 
yes for my pc i just thought it would be cool to use my laptop to get codes ive got access to the stuff for obd 2 some of the programs allow you to look at some data not a lot but some. Here is what got me looking for one for ford.

There is the same type data output in OBD-1 connector on Ford vehicles, but I tryed to search such Ford cable with no result, GM-style only.
 
I searched for cables separate from progs, 'cause the prof. progs are quite expensive.
Without cable you can easy read all codes and perfom 4 basic tests. With the cable and program you can watch some parameters in real-time mode (for example, may be somthing more like read the VIN...). That's all - no reprogramming or anything like that.
If You have the full professional program - it's very good, but the cables from program manufacturer are not very expensive (if you really need them). If You have only simple program - it will not work with OBD-1 (Ford EEC-IV) regardless to the cable.
 
Yeah you can but it looks more like the fast and furious when you use your computer!!:D:D

Sorry that is Optimus Prime, not just a regular transformer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
 
And now the full pinout (without instructions to "paperclip method"):
4+6 - data out (Ford interface)
5 - common wire for PCM
3 - STO (output for paperclip method)
2 - n/c
1 - fuel pump control wire
On the picture it the previous post: bottom line from left to right - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1, upper line from left to right - 6 - 5.
To connect to "real-time data" you will use 4 & 6.
