Default Help with Part

I'm trying to find a source for the fuel evaporation canister purge valve solenoid. I've tried the usual Autozone, Advance and NAPA. Also tried GM Parts online and was told the part was discontinued. Any suggestions or sources?

What's it look like, I'm scrapping an 88, maybe there's one on it.

On the drivers side in front of the tire is the fuel vapor cannister. Next to that on the right is a small (1 1/2" by 2") electrical connection with a single screw attaching it to the readiator support. Vaccum lines come off of it, It controls the vaccum to the purge valve.

I got it, It's rectangular with 2 vacum ports, and a 2 pin electrical connector. It's held on with a 10mm bolt. Drive out to Kennywood to pick it up or send me an address and I'll drop it in the mail. If it works, send me a $20 dollar bill, if it don't work, thro it in the garbage.

I think they are different. I called my local dealer and he confirmed the part is discontinued. I asked about a later model such as the 88 and was told it was a different part, also discontinued.
