Question Seafoam

I have the Bendix 9 ABS setup. Therefor there is no traditional vacuum line going to a booster to pour it in to. I put some in the oil like it says on the bottle, but I would like to get into a vacuum line that feeds the whole engine. Any ideas??? Thanks

So I could just unscrew the throttle body, pour it in, let it sit then fire it up? and this would be the same as using the vacuum booster line?

No you do not remove the throttle body to do this. I turned my engine off, removed the air intake tube from the throttle body, turned the engine on and SLOWLY poured the seafoam into the throttle body(if you pour too fast you can hydrolock your engine!). It helps to have someone keep the engine rev'ed up to about 2000 RPM while you pour the seafoam in but i just rev'ed it myself by pulling back the thing outside the throttle body that connects to the cables(i don't know what its called haha). But you can also youtube seafoaming a jeep and watch a few videos for more information.(what I did). Also there is already a decent size thread on here about seafoaming I have listed below. Good luck!
