Default 98 Ram 5.9L evap part issue

Hello fellow mopar fans,
I have an issue. The prior owner of my truck jimmy rigged a hose connector and it's now leaking. I've spent hours searching the web and cant find the part. The only way I can describe it is that it has 2 female ports for 2 different hoses and then it elbows down 90° to a larger female port to the vapor canister. Has anyone had a similar issue? Please LMK!

thank you.

Unfortunately the 2-into-1 elbow was never available as a part by itself, only with the whole harness. That harness is not available any longer, plus it would be too much money just to get the little rubber part. Junk yard or build something using vacuum hose fittings.

I had the exactly same problem on my 01 3.9 ram, drove it around fine though, in my area there's no emissions testing, before when I looked up the error code on youtube I found a few videos showing the exact dimensions of hose and how to fix them together, would be a pretty cheap fix getting hoses from autozone or somewhere, the factory part and elbow are way too expensive I've heard as well. You could try digging through some junkyard to find the parts

Sounds like a Purge Valve Solenoid to me, by that description.
