If you have a CAI cover remove cone filter then cover opening.

I use Simple Green. (almost any all purpose cleaner/degreaser will do) Just dilute it according to the instructions. I spray it on a warm (NOT HOT) engine before I start washing my truck. Then go back and hose it down with the engine running. Keep the stream moving and if the engine starts to stumble, remove it immediately. Then either wipe it down or drive the truck for a bit and let the heat from the engine do it for you. If you do it the latter way it will leave some water spots though.

Take your distributor cap off and run a bead of silicone around the edge and let dry...
I did that and it allows me to hose the engine without problems.
Condensation gets in there and shorts it and eventually it wont start.
I just keep it dirty....cleaning an old engine is not a happy engine...you can break free stuff that is holding together gaskets and keeping things sealed...
Plus all that grease helps waterproof the metal.
