I'm going to ty cleaning mine this week. I bought a bottle of Gunk (found at any auto part store ie. Pep Boys, VIP, and Autozone). Be careful of the distrubutor, electric components, carburetor, and the air intake system. Either take them out if you can or cover them with saran wrap. Good luck!

And of course, the obvious. Take out your battery out. =P And remember to cover that pricey alternator.

Oh yeah! Hah, stupid me forgot to mention that. Well i guess it falls under "electric components" and it's kinda common sense.
