To be certain, you should:
1. Consult a repair manual: A Haynes or Chilton manual specific to your 1990 Silverado will have a diagram showing the exact location of the modulator.
2. Look closely at the transmission: Follow the vacuum lines originating from the intake manifold. They will lead to the modulator.
3. Use online resources: Search for "1990 Chevy Silverado [Your Transmission Type] vacuum modulator location" on sites like YouTube or forums dedicated to classic Chevy trucks. Pictures can be invaluable.
Remember to be careful when working around the transmission; it can be hot even after the vehicle has been off for a while.
