Don't get water into the carb, alternator, and the distributor, but the rest you can wash like a crazy man. I used to put a plastic butter bowl down over the carb stud and run a nut down to hold it, the others, I would use a heavy plastic bag and tape. soak with a cleaner and wash with a pressure source, when done, use an air hose to blow them dry.

Thanks man, that's what I was lookin for! In the "Do's/don'ts of engine washing" thread they never did talk about what to cover up/take off or stay away from, all they really talked about was products it seemed.

I will try. But I have no way to get pictures off of my phone, and no camera.
