"Locate a vacuum line that you are certain DISTRIBUTES EVENLY TO ALL CYLINDERS. On many vehicles the easiest option is taking the vacuum line from your brake booster PCV."
Where would the vacuum line they are speaking of be located on the Windstar?
How about adding it to the crankcase prior to an oil change? Wouldn't this raise the oil level ABOVE the fill line? Dangerous for a short distance?
"To clean oil rings and lifters, add 1˝ oz. Sea Foam® to each quart of oil. Sea Foam® will slowly re-liquefy the old oil varnish residue that builds up on lifters and rings and prevents them from functioning normally. This process can be done as part of a pre service cleaning by adding the Sea Foam® to the oil at least 30 miles before the next oil change interval. OR it can be done as a preventative maintenance process without changing the oil. You can leave Sea Foam® in the oil indefinitely as long as the oil is clean."

What kind of problems are you having that you think you need this? I use berrymans b-12 chemtool in the fuel tank every once in a while. If you're not having any specific problems, I would stay away from additives, JMHO. If you find gas without ethanol, that's a plus. If the gas has ethanol, just don't let it sit for a long period of time without driving it.
