Default engine compartment

I'm planning to rinse out the engine compartment.
Is it safe to spray everything with hose water?

What year is the car? If it is an LT1, be careful with the optispark.

I'm guessing with a name like "Bugleboy84" that you have an '84?

First, I would cover up the air cleaner, alternator and distributor.

Second, wash the h*ll out of it.

Third, remove coverings, and start it up to make sure it runs ok. :thumbs:

From 1992 to 1994. I would stay away from hoseing it down,because of the opti spark. But it was changed in 1995. They didnt have the same problem. But i would still be careful, even if i had a 95 or 96. Clean by hand :)

Nope. My username has nothing to do with vette. Its something to do with my hobby. Anyway, I own an 89 coupe. I'm guessing that only thing I need to do is cover up the air cleaner, distributor, and alternator. Thanks you all very much for your input.
