Over the years I have washed many motors with the
garden hose and laundry detergent sprinkled on
then scrubbed with a paint brush, before rinsing.
Either let the wires dry completely or start as soon as possible
to prevent condensation in the distributor cap. I never had
any problems except maybe 2-3 min of rough idling.
If it by chance does not start, take off the cap
(do not remove all wires as it is not necessary,
and wipe the inside with a dry cloth).
A spray over the wiring, not a soaking, is fine.
I have been doing that for over 50 years on all
types of cars/trucks, etc.
Thanks Oldme! It could use a good spray down all over.
