Everybody says the best way to use seafoam is half in the tank and half in the vacuum hose. Well, I don't know what/where my vacuum hose is. I'm not the brightest crayon in the box when it comes to the mechanicl aspects of my car, but I'm not the dullest either.

Maybe even some pics if possible would really help clear things up for me. Thanks!

You have about 20 vacuum hoses in your engine bay. The directions say to use the brake booster vacuum hose, though it is fairly large which makes it difficult to regulate how much seafoam gets sucked into your engine. You really should have someone with a more thorough understanding of a car engine assist you -- pictures on a web board are a poor substitute for real knowledge.
