Default Smoke test for leaks

Hi, just wondering what would be the best and most accessible place to attach the lines to smoke test the evap system for leaks.

Look for the green threaded cap.

HummerZ pic shows a black line going into the side of the TB. That is where I've done it b4. Also, a great spot to put in whole system cleaner. After the MAF.

well it seems the guy who owned it before must of used a different line there, he took out the one with the green cap and just put one with a 90 bend on each end. no idea what vehicle he got it from, going to see if i can buy just that line or if i have to buy the whole. thanks for all the help

HummerZ where did you get the photo of the evap lines? do you have a part number for that?
