Exactly as the title says. I have a can of Engine Clean I want to use to clean out my engine bay and it says to cover the carburetor (which we obviously don't have on an ST) and distributor/distributor air inlet with foil. Obviously I don't want to destroy my distributor so...yeah, can anyone explain or show where it is?

It's to the right of the valve cover, with the wires sticking out. Let me find a pic.

Yup. Not as squeaky clean anymore, that was right after I got it.

No problem, and thanks guys.
 When I get back to my car, I'll probably give the engine bay a real good cleaning, it's a little dirtier than pictured. This post has been edited by SwissFerdi: Jul 6, 2010 - 4:27 PM -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]
