I have used "Simple Green", on a cold engine, let
it soak for approximately 5 minutes then hose it off with a garden hose. Be sure
to cover the carburetor with something that won't come off while spraying. I use
some heavy duty plastic sheet and duct tape it really good around the
carburetor. You can scrub the Simple Green with a plastic brush to get the big
chunks off before you spray.

Subject: IML: Cleaning under the hood of your Imperial Greetings everyone
My 60 Custom is needing a good cleaning of the
engine compartment.
Though the engine itself doesn't look too
bad everything surrounding it does .
If I head down to the local car wash
with a roll of quarters and a can of engine degreaser will I end
up damaging something with the high pressure spray?
Does anyone think that a SOS pad with a
garden hose would work as well?.
Would a SOS pad damage the paint?
Anyone have any tricks to making the under
hood area of an Imperial look good? (without pulling the
engine)
