Now THAT brings back memories of pouring ATF down the throat of my 72 Cutlass Supreme, opening up all four barrels and watching the neighborhood disappear in white smoke!

I poured Sea Foam down the crankcase vent tube on the pass. side of the air horn. Also poured the remainder in the tank.I just bought Sea Foam Spray that has a special applicator which fits into and under the air bridge so it can be sprayed with the motor running. Gonna try that tomorrow.

Has anyone clamped the feed and return lines, mixed up some treatment, and added it through the a pressurized container into the fuel rails, then run the engine?
Getting the secondary injectors running might be an issue on an "intact" LT5.

I do this to some of my CSFI(Central Port Fuel Injected) vehicles to keep the poppets from sticking.

I am going to put some Seafoam in the 57 this Winter. This E10 fuel has me concerned. I do keep the tank full and it gets a good 1/2 hour run once a month.

Did I miss the "why" you're doing this? Just because, or trying to fix something??
