The O2 sensor (only one) on you chassis is located at the end of the "Y" pipe, just in front of the resonator. It is mounted on top of the pipe. No catalytic converter on 1994-1997 Ford F53 chassis.

Before you spend any money, put a pressure gauge on the fuel rail. Aprox. 38# of pressure at idle and 42-44# at full throttle. Pressure regulator is vacuum controlled. The sputtering may be from lack of fuel. Older F53s are notorious for failing fuel pumps.
