Default Seafoam my 1500- Advice

Used seafoam many times on my other rigs- But the 1500 Vac system eludes me. Ive read some people say to use the brake master vac line.... BUT i dont even see any obvious vac lines to use. Anyone done this before on this motor? OR can just recommend a specific line to use ?

Thanks!

I think you can use your pcv valve line. I also seem to recall people putting in a "T" on that line and then running a hose in to a more convenient location.

Seafoam recommends adding 1 oz/gal for general maintenance and 2 oz/gal for carb cleaning. Is there any information that backs up using a hot shot of seafoam?

No I haven't pulled the trigger yet. I may do this soon. I don't like guessing on the vacuum line.

Anybody have something fresh to add on this issue. I want to know if i should just add Seafoam to my fuel or crankcase or both. Pros and cons please. It's springtime and time is a wasting.

I was going to do this but only way to do it from a vacuum line is from inside and got lazy to remove center consol.
