Never used it in a motor with vacuum lines although that sounds like it would work fine. I did use it to clean up the motor on a boat I bought once. Ran great afterward although it still had low compression.
 
I've never used the stuff, but I have a couple guys I know that swear but the stuff! Use it in the oil, dump it in the gas tanks and run it straight into a carb. Both seem very happy with the results.
 
In a nutshell, everything.
In gas it's supposed to clean out the deposits in fuel line, remove water and clean the system, as well as help eliminate carbon deposits.
In oil, it cleans out the sludge, deposits and carbon build up.
 
Be careful with it if you are putting into your crankcase if your oil flows through any external lines. My blazer has an auxiliary mounted oil filter (mounted under the radiator) with sending and return lines to and from the block. I added a quart of seafoam to the crankcase, and within 3 months every line had begun to leak oil around the area of the pressed fittings. I ended up replacing the entire apparatus.
My guess is, the seafoam may have eaten away at some internal seals within the line.

Aside from that I use it often. It also comes in an aerosal can called "deep creep", exact same stuff, different name and in a pressurized can. Great for fogging cylinders. I use it to winterize my boat motor.

My chip truck has a little spark knock happening lately. Im gonna try it.
 
My stumpgrinder had a small backfire every now and then. Added one shot glass of SeaFoam per gallon of gas for 3 tanks of gas... problem solved. Runs like a top now.
