To much Seafoam?
Can you do the Seafoam induction cleaning to much? I realize in doing the 60K that the PO did not keep up with things. Fluids were UGLY.
I did one Seafoam half-can induction with other half going in the gas and man did it smoke. So a few months later I did it again and man did it smoke.
Should I keep going another time or would it become hurtful instead of helpful?
I am currently adding the recommended amount of Lucas Oil gas treatment everytime I fill up with premium. I am pretty sure the PO did not used premium.
Just want to know I am doing everything I can to keep my Disco happy and healthy.

The only harm you can really do is add too much too fast and hydro-lock your engine. I do a full can induction cleanings but I add the can drip by drip over a period of 30 minutes.

In my experience, at least part of the "smoke" you see is the seafoam itself, the other part is of course the crap is has cleaned out. IMO you are doing fine, true test is of course......how's it running ?
The best proven way to clean your system is, 1 can in the tank before a good drive, clean the t/body with carb cleaner and 1 thru the induction system as slowly as possible at an idle, then shut of the engine, let it sit for at least 30 minutes then drive the smoke out of her.
Any tool that will restrict the flow of SeaFoam into the manifold, in a shop we would use a gauge, in the real world a pair of pliars, or clamp to allow 1 to 2 minutes for the full can to be sucked in.
