Answer
Hello Bill,
Go to the public library, to the refference section. They have all kinds of shop and service manuals.
I don't have one here for trucks that age, but find a Motors, or Chilton manual, and look in the general repair section. I remember seeing a section in one of those books for testing fuel tank switching valves, and it seems like it showed where each hose went.

The word is solenoid, but I don't think that one is called a solenoid valve, but rather a switching valve.
