Im guessing some loom and a couple of lengths of suitable pipe would also be required by the OP ?

Mister linky to the rescue. ;D ;D ;DSorry about the pic quality. The one in my 1st pic is made by Delco-Remy. This is the GM purge valve 8-)

 ;D ;D ;D
Part # 90466244

Thats a vac solenoid....and will not work as a purge valve as one side of the ports vents to atmosphere when its closed.  :y

The later type can be seen here at the rear left on a bracket near the breather box

There is an electrical connection, its obscured by the pipe in that pic (you cna just make out the cable going to it).

The bracket it fits onto  is mounted on the block.

Thanks guys, I've got the Delco one and it's still on the engine & wired in, one pipe from the back of the plenum, other is about 8" to nothing at the moment.   :D

So In theory I've only got to run a pipe back to a spigot on the tank!

Is there no other one way valve by the tank?

Martin

Edit; do I need the charcoal or can I just pipe direct?
