Title: Seafoam-which vac line for intake?
Post by: sherker55 on May 19, 2010, 04:46:48 PM
I have read all the posts and didn't see which line to use, and it looks like there are a couple...

You can use the brake booster hose. That would be the easiest one to use.

The hose that connects to the brake booster. Its right next to the master cylinder.

here you go man.... disconnect the hose thats connected to this.... but disconnect it up higher so that you can pour the seafoam very slowly down the hose.... almost just let the seafoam dribble out and let the suction pull it at its own will..... you'll hear the engine sputter if your going too fast....

1/3 in tank
1/3 in oil
1/3 in that hose..... enjoy the smoke show !

Thanks anyway!  I went out with a flashlight to look for the brake booster hose.  I read somwhere to make sure you use a vac line that will introduce the seafoam in to both sides of the engine...Thien, I am assuming that you already knew this and that's why you recommended the brake booster line.

Yep. We do a seafoam type of fuel cleaner at my job, and I usually use the brake booster hose. The brake booster hose is a good source of vaccum for those fuel cleaner.

should I disconnect it from where it meets the "junction" looking box that attaches to the IM? and then just put a tub on the male end at the junction...or disconnect from the master cylinder?

I disconnect those hose from the brake booster and use it that way.

is the brake booster that little junction thing I am talking about with a tube coming from the top (which goes to IM top), and another from the bottom (which goes to MC)

The Brake Booster is that huge round cylinder that the master cylinder is bolted too. There is a little plastic adapter that connects the tube to the brake booster. Disconnect the hose from the plastic adapter and feed the seafoam through the hose.
