Vacuum canister help requested

Ok I been (slowly due to high humidity) doing a tune up on my truck, I so far changed the spark plugs, ignition coil and the wire from the ignition coil to the distributer, however I now have the CEL coming on, the only thing I can think may have triggered it is I had to disconnect the red and black lines going to it and when reconnecting them I put them in backwards/reversed them. Does anyone know if the lines have to be a certain way or ha e a picture of how the lines should be connected to the canister?

Ok, thanks, mine are opposite of what you have, but the cel is cleared and ok, should I still flip mine around or just leave it? I prefer the "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" approach...
