I have had great success with (depending upon the severity)

carb cleaning fluid (buy from walmart, not flaps); add fine steel wool (0000) where necessary

orange cleaning fluid from the dollar store

a couple gallons of that cleaning solution (comes in a 1 gal can; has a little plastic parts holder in it)

and for a more macro approach, buy a good power washer.

I think we have always brought the subject of lube & hydro fluifs to a
pretty fine point on this list.  But, what about cleaning, degreasing,
fluids?  As I begin a new project I am starting to have to fight the 50
years of buildup on this latest acquisition.

I bought the ZEP Purple degreaser, this stuff seems to work real good, wear
gloves and don't let it get into an open cut.  My only complaint is that it
has a slick film residue that really requires some clean water scrubbing
after you have degreased your part.
