In addition to the replies on the canister and hoses:
The valve is the anti-runon valve, which wasn't fitted until 1973 so is not
applicable to your engine, it all depends which emissions kit you have - 71
or 74. The 1973 cars had a two-port valve, some time after that it became a
three-port, AFAIK the electrical information for the valve at
http://www.mgb-stuff.org.uk/wn_runonframe.htm (select the 2nd and 3rd links
at the top of that page) is applicable to both.
Not sure how the two-port was plumbed in although one probably went to the
float-chamber. The three-port went to the cannister, the float-chamber, and
the open air.
