i just seafoamed my 94 bronco with the 351. i was dissappointed when i started the truck back up, but then i took it for a short drive and the neighbors thought my truck was on fire. got plenty of strange looks. my truck doesnt hesitate anymore at low rpm when i start moving :-D i approve!

oh yeah, and i ended up pouring like a half bottle in the vacuum line oops

for sure man, but might want to do another around next oil change just to clean out what was left. I have heard positive results from doing this.

Seafoamed the 88 tonight. Had all the neighbors outside looking for the fire ! I should have done that long ago. Went to O'Reilly auto parts and they had it on sale for $6.00 a can sooo just had to buy a few .


Thanks to the OP for taking the time to do an execellent job on the write up

Thanks Bigdreynolds, I really appreciate yours and all the others kind words. I really enjoyed writing this how-to and look forward to writing others.

I have one edit to make to my original post. I originally recommended pulling the plastic head on the brake booster to separate the vacuum line from the brake booster. The same result can be accomplished by taking a set of pliers to that little clip right to the left of the plastic head in pic two. The reason I didn't include it is because that clip (especially in older models) can easily break. In addition, that plastic head provides a larger diameter spot to pour in seafoam. But there it is just in case. I just wanted to include it as an FYI. Thanks all again for the positive feedback and God bless.
