Go with the stripper without the glitter.  :tetas:  Everytime i go to wash my engine i don't worry about anything.  I've been doing that for years.  But if you want to be safe take a  plastic trash bag, or grocery bag and cover the alternator, and distributor.  that's about all that i'd worry about.

Would this work for an 88?  I mean specificly the removal proceedure.  Mine are a little chipped, and I'd like to re-paint them.

I usually do it with a warm, but not hot engine.  The grease is easier to loosen up when it is warm.  If you use a steam pressure washer, then don't worry about that part.

As for getting stuff wet, I usually just go to town with the water.  But ordinarily, you should cover the distributor cap, alternator, and probably the main connector for the engine wiring harness near the firewall.
