this "orrifice" is that the dump valve? and also "the vacume building up" is that only when the FCV is closed? which side of the fcv would the vacume build up? converter yeh? |

The dump valve is seperate from the orrifice.
Follow this diagram and you can't go wrong. |

BTW, there is no dump valve in that pic, as it is optional to improve acceleration response.
If there was a dump valve, it would go between the FCV and the converter T piece. This would allow air into the tube if vacuum became too great from abrupt throttle movements.
The orrifice is just a small cylinder of metal with a hole drilled in the centre of it. |
