Default Simple Green?

First off, yes I realize this should be in the detailing section but I kind of want an answer now and this is the forum with the most activity at the moment. I'm about to clean the engine bay and I was told to use Simple Green degreaser. My question is, do I need to use the automotive cleaner or can I use the all-purpose cleaner?

your coil should be mounted on the engine on a 95. Make sure you cover your distributer, coil and all spark plug wires.

Is this my distributor? Sorry for the seriously noob posts. Oh and that isn't the engine of my car, just another 94 mustang.
