    I know there are prolly other posts about this, but I am scared to run seafoam through the vacuum lines on my 2000 GTP. Will it strip my rotors? Who else has done this, and for how long? How does it run after?

    Take a 12" piece of vacuum line that fits onto the fitting under the LIM. Watch the belts etc and you'll be good. That fitting is after the SC.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I've always run seafoam through the brake booster vacuum line on my Daytona, and vehicles in the past. Works great IMO.

    parts store carry's vac line.

    in this pic, under the s/c snout, where the pulley is, you see the thin vac line leads to the T that goes into the lim. take that off, put new vac line on that nipple.

    Or use the vacuum line connecting to the SC bbv - that is what I used. I find the problem with using the Tee under the SC snout is they tend to be brittle & will tear/crack if it is the original. There is a write-up on gpona or something. Google it.
