My orifice tube was just below the brake booster along the body. It is right where the aluminum tube goes from a large size to a smaller size. Some later years, this is back along the firewall. Just follow the lines coming out of the accumulator and find the fitting where a large tube, and smaller tube connect. The fittings are pretty large. Loosen the fitting, and the orifice tube is inside the large tube.
