Where is the brake booster?

[916drifter]

I just got some seafoam and i was wondering where is the brake booster located at? I am a visual person so descriptions wont really help. But u can try. If anyone has a pik that would be more helpful.

its the big round black thing on the firewall that the brake master cyl connects to. right in front of the drivers seat

[916drifter]

is it the black hose that leads to the intake manifold? do i disconnect it from the cylnder??? and pour it into the black housing?

That black housing is the brake booster. That line that leads to the manifold is the vaccum line.

So i do put the seafoam in the black housing that leads to the manifold right?

What do the instructions say?

If the "Seafoam" you are talking about is that intake cleaner I've seen at the parts store, then yes, you disconnect that big vacuum line and put the cleaner in the line so that the intake will inhale the liquid. Go slow, too much will stall the engine and it will be kind of tough to get it started again since the engine is now flooded with the stuff. And if it's a big bottle, I wouldn't use it all, perhaps 5-6oz., that's about half a soda can's worth.

Yeah, I am also gonna try the seafoam, when I shift into 3rd and accelerate there is a short feel of power loss? hopefully it will help.
