Evap Cannister Purge Volume Control Solenoid Valve

Hi All
This would be thing in the way of one of the rear spark plugs (on the right end as you lean and hurt your back from stretching) right? I friggin broke off one of the nipples (vacuum line) during plug change. Car runs like crap of course. Is this a Rockauto kind of thing or junkyard? Or jerry-rig. I hate myself right now. That's a beginner mistake and a half.
I won't tell you what I did to the coil pack on that one. Let me just say, taking out one bolt then prying is a BAD idea. JB weld....I hope it holds.
Note to self, two bolts each. I started with that one....
Thanks
John

If you have one available, I would pick up one from a local junkyard.

Thanks CS_AR
If I can't rig up something in the meantime, it'll have to wait. The trick is, it vibrates like crazy so any sort of retention compound needs to be flexible. I'm thinking of finding a metal tube that I can JB Weld to the valve body then connect the rubber vac line to. I think the key is no leak, I doubt the volume of flow is critical. Until I get one to replace it. My son (who's getting this car when he gets his license) is bumming that we can't keep driving this weekend.
Old cars.
