The brake booster does a better job of distributing it evenly to all cylinders.
Its the black hose comming off the brake booster. Pull the end off, the engine should idle down a little, and you should be able to feel a vacuum from that line.
SLOWLY pour 1/2-2/3 of the can into the hose ( I put my thumb over the bottle to regulate the flow into the engine), turn the engine off, wait 10 mins then fire her up!

The easiest way, I think, is the brake booster line. I tried going through the PCV line and couldn't keep the engine from dying. The bb line makes it a lot easier to control the engine while pouring. Just have to pinch the line a bit. And it did do a good job of cleaning. I've been battling blow by (leaky oil rings) in the intake, and after a couple of treatments things greatly improved. Nay to the naysayers!

I found a nipple on top of the TB that's not being used for anything. attached a hose to it...start the engine...use the throttle lever to keep the engine from dying......put the other end of host in to the bottle. The vacume will sucks the liquid into the engine by itself. I used about 1/2 bottle ..then wait about 10 min. then start the engine and watch the smoke....
Don't do it in the garage.....even with the door open.

Follow the directions
I use the PCV line , made a little adapter with a smaller hose(you can get a 3/8" to 1/8" fitting) so it doesn't suck it all up instantly and motor won't stall as bad , chose the PCV on mine because it feeds right at the front of the throttle body so it would definately clean throttle plate and throttle body well , removed air intake hose after whole bottle sucked up through PCV and Throttle Plate and Body were spotless

Seafoam
Also when I put a bottle in my tank I added it when empty at the gas station and put 10 gallons of Premium in tank with whole bottle , it worked well , seemed to give it a bit of power and smoother operation by the time I had run it all out
