Brake Booster

I'm looking for the brake booster hose on the booster side to run seafoam through my intake manifold. Can anyone point this out for me?

Thanks Ace , so while the car is idling I disconnect this and the vacuum should suck the seafoam up? Then I reconnect it and let it do its work? Am I missing anything?

Yeah, your engine may die when you remove the hose, due to the huge vacuum leak. Modulate the leak with your finger or have someone keep the revs up, if needed. You also may foul up your O2 sensors doing the Seafoam treatment. Don't be surprised if you have to get new ones afterward.

You are not going to get all cylinders like that.

What do you suggest? I planned on putting half the can in the brake booster and the other half in the gas
