    What year? Brake booster is a popular spot to use.

    Brake booster line works great, only problem is that is doesn't get into the front 4 cylinders all that well.

    What worked for me was to raise the right side (drove up on a dirt pile) and use the vent hose from the right side valve cover. I just turned the hose upside down and poured the seafoam in while it was running. I would pour until a slight bog, let it recover and do it again. I pulled the intake 3 weeks later and it looked great, including the front cylinders.
