You could search for a link because theres many..
but cover up the distributor,battery and spark plug wires, lightly mist with water, then your fav. engine degreaser (gunk), scrub HARD, mist away. Repeat for better results.

simple green or any degresser and pressure wash it off, make sure to cover some parts or try not to get them wet, such as the plugs, cap, alternator, etc.
