    That's the one I'm pointing to in the bottom picture. What everyone else is saying is that since that vacuum point is only leading into one chamber of the intake that it will only clean one cylinder.

    I see what you guys are saying. By introducing the seafoam after the throttle body and before the intake it will be dispersed into all cylinders rather than favoring one. Wheres the best place to pull that vacuum hose? At the charcoal canister or where my finger is and just pour it in the aluminum tube?

    Good eye on the brake fluid. I bled my brakes from when I put the extended brake line on but the level in the reservoir didn't go down for some reason. Guess it finally settled in.

    Faced my fears and seafoamed my 234k mile motor! 1/3 a can through the intake, 1/2 a can in the gas, and going to do the rest in the oil right before my next oil change. It actually went really well; heavy smoke for about 4 minutes then just a light fog for a few more min. I was expecting much more for that many miles and the best part of all..... I didn't clog up my cat!!! Only drove it about 3 miles from autoparts to my apt but I can already tell a difference. MUCH smoother and noticeably more power and pep!

    Just to make this really easy for anyone else who stumbles across this thread, here is where I disconnected the vacuum line to put the seafoam through. As you can see in the pic, the line runs back over and enters right after the throttle body but before the intake so it is evenly spread through all the intake channels rather than just the one that the brake booster line is connected to.

    And yes, I know I still need brake fluid.
