Use the one that has the hose to the canister purge solenoid.  It is just to
the left of the throttle body.

You will have to work hard to keep the engine running while the B-12 is
running through.  Just keep at it.

Not very likely.

Probably not.  More likely is a small leak.

> Can carbon build up cause the engine to knock?

Yes, especially if the deposits are on the inside of the cylinder head
(combustion chamber).
