It is certainly easier and probably more environmentally friendly and thorough than the method I use, but mine is inexpensive and convenient. I just go to a self service car wash, tie a plastic bag over my distributer and have at the engine bay with their pressure wand. Sometimes I spray enginge cleaner on it first if it's really bad. The only problem I have had with this is that once i had a no-start because i hadn't learned to cover the distributer and had to spray wire-dryer in the distributer to get it going. I know some people cover the alternator too, but I have never bothered. I have read that even opening the hood of your car in a carwash in California can get you a citation. -- Andy in St. Paul, '91 745 Regina 194K mi, '89 244 138K, '87 245 RIP Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
