There is a picture of it on post #11 in case you missed it. On my 5.7L it is directly below the Mercathode controller on top of the engine and very easy to get to. I doubt that I spent 15 minutes doing the swap but someone had already told me where it was located.
Locate the starter. You will see (probably) 3 wires, 2 large and 1 small hooked to it. Follow the small wire, and it will (probably) lead to the slave solenoid. It should be yellow with a red stripe. If there are 2 small wires, one might lead to another component on the engine.
And actually, there will be more than 3 wires, but most of them terminate together (to the same post). Sorry if this is confusing - not writing clearly today.
I found this image - I think it should help clarify which wire you should be looking at (Yellow with red stripe).
