My 86 Nissan 300zx non-turbo 2 seater has three vacuum lines all T'd
together behind the passenger side headlight. Can anyone tell me how they
connect to the canister. They are coming from the heater core water valve,
manifold vacuum, and the automatic instrument temperature controller in the
dash. The valve on the canister opens when the A/C is on. Thanks for any
help you can give.

The electric valve goes to the heater valve. One of the fittings has a one
way check valve, this goes to the intake manifold, the other goes to the
hose going inside the car.

Go to the "help" section of the parts stores, they have universal one way
vacuum check valves you can install between the can and the intake manifold
to fix this.
