The purge solenoid valve is stuck in between the two pieces of hose that connect to it; there is no solid mounting place for it.Thanks for your reply. Yes it seems common to want to remove anything that is labeled 'smog' or 'emission' but this really does make sense. I am actually setting this up in a 74 Bronco. So the vapor line from the tank passes through the purge valve solenoid before it goes to the intake (from the pick I can't see an inlet and an outlet). Where does the purge valve solenoid usually mount? Do you have any pics of the purge valve solenoid connector and where it exactly connects to? I am setting this up with an aftermarket RJM harness and I think I may be missing the purge valve solenoid connector.
Does the CC have a dedicated inlet/outlet or does it not matter?
Also, I picked up in another thread that there are supposed to be 'mushroom caps' on the top of the CC. Any ideas what these do and where to get them?
Oh and you are talking about the vacuum line that runs straight off the page at 12:00 in your pick for the connection to the CC (through the purge valve solenoid), correct?
Thanks so much for your help!

How do you know if you have the solenoid hooked up correctly? I can't tell if I have it on backwards or not.The carbon canister solenoid plugs into the passenger side EFI harness.
