again I didn't pay attention (IRIS chk valve)
 

So in ordering new hoses and gaskets I pulled the IRIS check valve to look for a part number before taking note of which direction it was installed. Being that it is bullet shaped it should be easy to describe what direction goes in relation to the canister. SO, could someone here do me the favor of serving as my memory and tell me what direction this thing goes?
thanks guys!

The IRIS check valve, (part #16195AA030) is pointed at one end, in the body of it.
The pointed end goes into a short hose that goes strait back into the black plastic vacuum canister.
The flat end goes into a "S" shaped hose that attaches to the bottom of the intake manifold.:)

Thanks Tom.
