Default Seafoam PCV Valve

So I have done some research and I'd like to try and seafoam my car. I found some great links describing what to do, how much to use (and where) and I have actually helped my brother do it on his car in the past.

My problem is I am not 100% sure where the PCV valve is located and where to let the seafoam get sucked in. I found a few different pictures on google and they all look different.

Here is a picture of what I am working with and I have gathered to be the right spot:


Am I way off?

Do I disconnect that hose and let the foam get sucked into the hose or the valve itself. I also found a couple pictures pointing to the hose above the one I circled.

Any help is appreciated, I am not in a hurry to blow my engine up :p

I used a can last week-end. I used a half a can in the gas tank and the other half in the vacuum hose going to the power brake booster. My wife contributed her cooking funnel to the project.

Yeah, I've heard of people using the brake booster line but I've also heard it doesn't circulate throughout the entire engine as well. Anybody have thoughts on that?
