Ray,
The Gulp valve is not connected to the carbon canister, or at least it
should not be. The gulp valve has an input, an output and a vacuum connection.
It can only be mounted such that the vacuum connection points away from the
valve cover.
Then the input connects to a hose that has a restrictor inside it, this
connects to the air pump. The other side of the gulp valve connects to the
inlet manifold.
I think you must be talking about something else, perhaps the ANTI-RUN ON
valve, located just below and ahead of the carbon canister? Is your car non
standard?
If you are referencing the ANTI RUN ON VALVE, this is connected as follows:-
It has a vent hose that goes down below the car and is open to the air. It has
a hose that connects to the carbon canister and a small hose that connects to
the manifold vacuum. Hope this helps.
