Where is the carburetor on a 1989 Chevy van?

A 1989 Chevy van likely wouldn't have a carburetor. By 1989, most vehicles, even vans, had transitioned to fuel injection. There's a very small chance it might have a carburetor if it has a very small, older engine as an unusual option, but it's highly improbable.

To be certain, you need to check:

* Your van's engine: Look under the hood. A carburetor is a relatively large, easily identifiable component with many visible hoses and linkages. If you see a large air intake manifold with various fuel injectors spraying into it instead of a carburetor, it's fuel-injected.

* Your owner's manual: It will specify the fuel system type.

* The VIN: Using the vehicle identification number, you can look up the specifications online through various vehicle information services. This will tell you exactly what engine your van has and therefore if it is carbureted or fuel-injected.

In short, while theoretically *possible*, it's extremely unlikely you'll find a carburetor on a 1989 Chevy van. Assume it's fuel-injected unless proven otherwise through the methods above.
