Can someone post A pic of their vapor canister on an '87 L98 equipped car? A part number would help too. Mine was removed by the previous owner. I bought one from the classifieds here but I think it's the wrong one, it has the little round valve thing attached to it, but my car has the valve inline in the rubber hoses.

 

Why not order a new one specifically for your car from, say, Autozone. If it's not correct, don't accept it.

I'm not sure what's correct, that's my problem. LOL

If i could see a pic from another 87 I'd know what to look for.

 

Here's mine, from an 85, which is the type you describe:

I have three rubber hoses and an electrical connector hanging loose in there. One big, one medium, and one small hose. The biggest hose is the one with the valve.

 

Mods, feel free to move this to the engine forum if that's more appropriate (although I am trying to "restore" my car).

 

Mine. sorry for the dirty engine shot!

 

well maybe I do have the right canister after all. It looks like there are two purge valves. Is that a hard line going to the solenoid?

The only difference is yours is on the drivers side, while mine is on the pass side, but i don't think that would change anything.
