tells you all the lines you can use, i'm sure any vacuum line near the carb will work, or just pour it down the primaries on your carb, just be careful not to pour too much at once lol.

1 can Seafoam to 1/8 tank of gas. Go for a drive. Be happy you did it.

In my opinion, injecting it through a vacuum line is overkill and a waste of product.

The mechanic was smoking crack, and failed to perform the test correctly. Either that, or you are smoking crack and your car runs like crap but you don't realize it. I'm betting on the former.

Flooding will also result in a zero compression reading. But if it's running fine, then it's not flooded. Seafoam it and let us know how she's doing. Good luck....
