If it is factory Ford, it most likely has some numbers embossed or printed on it; find and type them here.
Typing in all lowercase without apostrophes and such (like you're relying on a smartphone's auto-correct thing) is irritating to read, I wish you wouldn't do that....

I replaced that part on my '83 a few years ago, prior to de-smogging it altogether.
It's the solenoid valve that controls venting from the carb float bowl, to the charcoal canister......on my emissions sticker it has the acronym SV-CBV (solenoid valve - carburettor bowl vent). Another one (CPRV - canister purge valve) controls the return of vapor back to the engine to be burnt.
Having the two hose nipples snapped off, yours won't be easily repaired & reused.

Thank you so much Ken Blythen. It turn's out that the mystery part is in fact the SV-CBV. Now the trick will be to see if i can find it.
Sorry Ctubutis. I was in a hurry. Didn't know grammar was a requirement on this site. Thanks for all the help though. You guys are great!

Okay, 1986F150 guy... [by the way, welcome to the forum!]
If that part has this number on it, E4TF-9C915-AA, I have the part in my hand and can help you!
I was going to give you this one, but I searched and using that number [above] they are available NOS on ebay.
