Induction cleaning with Seafoam
 
I's like to do the induction cleaning with Seafoam but I'm not exactly sure where the vacuum hose (from the can) is supposed to attach to the t-body. I assume it's one of the 3 lines in the pic but I'm not sure. And the hose with the clamp seems to have a little leak. Should I be concerned about it or an easy way to fix it? Thanks everyone.

The one that has the clamp on it. Remove that clamp and replace it with a worm gear clamp. Use that one to sucl the Seafoam in.

that pcv hose was too big in my opinion, I didnt want to suck in too much at one time and potentially burn a hole in the piston. So I found a plastic hose that fit in the port where the brake booster vacuum line connects.

Wrong, not the large hose with the clamo, you use the lower hose, under the lsrge hose, remove the hose or nipple, add 2 feet of 3/16th tube and do your induction thru there.
The whole idea is to use the smallest hose with the least amount of vacuum so you suck the cleaner in slowly.

Ahh gotcha. It looks like that small one is where where the SAI hooks into the system correct? I was looking at a friends engine (without SAI) and there was just a cap over the port. Thanks again!!

Does one actually run the risk of burning a hole in a piston if it's done too fast? Wow, that would suck

Not even possible.
But don't allow it to happen, it would just be a waste of a good can of SeaFoam.
Regulate the flow with a pair of pliars so it takes over 1 minute plus to suck in a whole can.

No problemo. It's been on my mind for some time, I just never got around to asking.
