Budnate get the engine warm on the way to the carwash!When you get there cover the carb and dist cap with plastic and large rubber bands also take along a can of wd40 and a scredriver to pop the cap if necessary if water or moisture happens to get in there.Spray the engine down real good with a can of GUNK engine cleaner I always get mine at the auto parts stores or wallmart if it is really dirty use 2 cans of it. Let that soak for about 10 minutes then wash it real good with the soap selection on the carwash.Then spray everything down with simple green and let set and rub any accessible areas such as firewall and fender wells etc you can reach.Then rinse really good.Careful not to get simple green on any powder coated surfaces! It will eat some powder coatings down to the bare metal.I usually take a air tank and blow off the intake or you can use a gas powered leaf blower,some carwashes even have air outlets to use and just take a hose and nozzle along.After that remove the plastic covering on the distributor and carb.install breather and fire that baby up and drive it back home.This usually works well for me.
