74,
I can't really help you with the Florida regs, but I am a big fan of Castrol Super Clean as a degreaser. The grease practically runs off.
Good luck,
Anthony
I can tell you from experiance that if your ride has power steering, the worst leak is typically from the power steering valve.
We have the same basic regs up hear in the peoples republic of MD.
If you have a friend with a service station, they can typically have one of those portable steam cleaner auto detailing guys do the job at the station. I had my Roadmaster Wagon done that way and we found the leaky valve cover gaskets to be the culprit and the gut did an excellent job on washing down the motor. It was almost spotless!
Hope this helps.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend and remember our troops!

Brakleen gets my vote! Comes right off and dries fast, just like "lowbrowser" says.

but lets not forget that the grease forms a fine rust proof coating!
Well, I don't know if Texas has a law on that, but I took mine to a car wash and used some of that "Glad Press and Seal." It seals GREAT! I sealed around the air filter/carb and around the Distributor (I have a chrome box over mine) box. Used the high pressure cleaner & the high pressure rinse, took off the Press & Seal, hopped in my car and took off.........no problem. I hope you find your leak!

Have you gotten any further on your tranny? The red color drops on your garage floor sounds like a tranny leak. Is the car hard to get in gear or is it acting up in any way?? I assume it's a 4 speed.
Kstyer, that was really bad......way too funny!! "Tasted like Cherry Coke? Does that mean the trans operates sweet?
I found a wire leading to my coil that looks like part of it fried in the middle. My car wouldn't start & I thought I had flooded the carb. Lifted the hood to check it out and found that wire. Got it started finally & noticed that section of the wire was smokin'. I'm not too electrical. What's the best thing to do? I'm not trying to mess up this thread......

I like brake clean too, but doesn't it dissolve, deteriorate some plastics? have to be careful spaying it... near your paint job
When I cleaned under my car I scrapped the heavies, took it to the car wash and hit it with high pressure and removed the rest with rags and some diesel in a spray bottle. I suppose you could use parts washing fluid in a spray bottle too. If it's really baked on and you can remove the parts, you could use oven cleaner. That does the trick too. Did that when I rebuilt my 72 camaro many years ago.
