i use a mixture of simple green and water to clean it up, and use a toothbrush or a paintbrush to get hard to reach areas

Some people like to spary an engine down with a hose and stuff. But me personally I always go the handheld way as in toothbrushes and stuff like that as said above. Im pretty sure it takes longer probably but it doesnt bother me. I never really liked the idea of opening my hood and spraying the motor down anyways .....

Another vote for CD2. I used to use it all the time on my SS. I loved that stuff, but it's very hard to find around here anymore.

Its called a throttle cable cover. Got it from MBA Products. They have since gone out of business. I seen a site just the other day that was selling them now. Not sure what the name of the company is though. I will look for it and get back to you. Maybe someone else on here knows?
