What hose do I use?
So I want to do the Seafoam thing to my engine today but have no idea on what hose to suck it up with...I took pictures of my engine bay, if someone can please point it out for me that would be great!
I know the headers are nasty looking
Also is there anything else I should change after doing this or before?

Spray bottle Simple Green all over your warm engine bay, let sit 10 minutes, then hose off (or pressure wash with a 40 degree nozzle). Just don't spray water directly into the vents on your alternator (maybe cover the alt with a plastic bag).
Prestone Extended Life All Makes/Models is what I use for A/F. And mix it yourself; a gallon bottle of Prestone and a gallon jug of distilled water is probably $7 or $8 cheaper than 2 gallon bottles of 50/50 mix.
50:50 is the typical blend. It should take just about 2 gallons to fill; if you need a little extra, I'd say cheat on the side of more water than A/F.

Ok sweet! I got the Simple Green but stupid me got the Foam but it should work...
For the coolant I was thinking about flushing it, but do I have to get the kit of can I just put a garden hose into the raditor and turn it on and have the plug out?
Cause the kit was alittle confusing to me..

Kinda don't get what ya mean^
Like on the back of the flush kit they showed how to do it and they said you put a T on the inlet tube..got that
they you hook up the garden hose to this thing that attaches to the raditor...got that
then it shows were you had the T that there was some other tube on top that I had no idea on..
PLUS I don't know were is the inlet tube and outlet so confused there...lol
