Start at the rear axle, see the rubber brake hose that goes to the frame? There is a small bracket where it changes to a steel line, about 6 inches forward of this is a valve with 2 brake lines and a wire going to it. Follow the brake line from the hose, it goes right to it. That's the critter, just inside the frame rail, can't miss it, unless it's already gone. If it is, the line from the hose will go directly behind the fuel tank.
Ironforger, there is a valve inside the unit that opens brake pressure to an accumulator. The valve sticks open and when you step on the brakes the fluid goes to the accumulator instead of the cylinders, giving a spongy feel and poor stopping power. Removing the ABS valve is the best mod a lot of us have done.

Are both the brake lines 3/16" ? If so you could cut them back farther and just run a straight shot using either compression fittings or flare unions...

If you replace the brake line from the front, no adapters are needed. The line will screw right into the hose connection. That's what I did on mine.
