THE best oil remover I have ever used is called Oil Eater but the first thing I would do is find a place renting a steam cleaner not a pressure washer. Cover the Dist. and Alt. with plastic bags and completely bag your carb or FI. Next raise the vehicle off the ground with ramps or if at home jack stands and go for it. After that you will probably need a couple good scrapers lots of rubber gloves and eyewear and scrape off what didn't come of with the steam. Get some Easy Off oven cleaner and hammer that on, let it work then resteam clean.
