The charcoal cannister on my 73 2.0 is disconnected. You can see the lines in the engine bay. I want to reconnect it, but the nipple is missing on the engine shroud. Where do I find a replacement for this?

Keep looking, there are two nipples in the area by Cyl 2.
Your flashback valve is incorrectly connected to the supply air nipple for the charcoal filter. Look for the flashback valve nipple closer to the #2 intake port emanating from the head. Both heads should have this port - one at cyl #2, the other at cyl #3, both get connected to the antiflashback valve - to serve its purpose for safely venting the case. The way yours is set up you are directing fan supply air into the intake through the flashback valve. Sort of a turbo effect, but likely leaning out the mixture. Study Dave D's diagrams, it shows the relative locations of the two ports at cyl 2. Attached thumbnail(s)  Attached image(s)
