Pull the big line off the engine side of the brake power booster. You'll know its the right one if you can trace it back to the back of the intake.
I went to pep boys today and bought a can of seafoam, I got the spray, do I just pour it into the throttle body and then turn on the car? And how much do I spray into the tb? Thanks guys.
Start your car, pour it slowly down the TB get it slightly cleaned and then dump enough to make the engine stall out. Let it sit for about 15 minutes, turn the car back on (it may take a minute or two) and go for a quick drive. Don't rev real high for a little bit till you get most of it out of the top end. A friend of mine had an 84 firebird that sat for 4 years, after we got it running i seafoamed it with 2 cans, we filled the garage with so much smoke we couldn't see each other. This stuff really works.
I bought a can of it a year ago (it was dented and on sale). Haven't decided if I was going to dump a bit in the oil, gas, or build up the courage to let the brake booster line suck it up. I'm worried about screwing up something in the engine. Everybody elso gets great results though, so I might do it someday.
I used a whole can. Half through a vacuum line and half in the oil. I've noticed some good results, as far as responsiveness, but still noticing a sitcky lifter noise. Smoked like a sumbitch, it was cool. Residential neighborhood FILLED with smoke late at night is funny.
I just seafoamed my car via the directions on the can but when i pulled the brake booster vac line my car stalled instantly. maybe just a sudden boost of air? I don't know but if that means a problem i'd like to know that too. back on topic... i sucked it up through a small vac line and it smoked and i turned it off, waited 5 minutes and drove. I noticed a little more pickup but later i went to start my car and it took a little longer to start than usual. maybe some residual seafoam. but really the car is noticeable more responsive and honestly it made a big difference in hp. like it feels like 10 hp difference. I like the stuff and i would recommend it to anybody.

We don't have anything here in the UK that makes cool clouds of smoke... Just regular add-to-fuel-tank additives. Think I might have to take a look at ordering some of this seafoam from overseas!
