Can anyone tell me of a brand tape that will hold up to the engine compartment heat. The 3m stuff I buy from my local ADVANCE comes loose and gunks up after a few hours of heat. I have tried other various brands also.
I want to rewrap all my wires in a project Satellite I am working on. I would prefer it to hold well.

I think about the only thing that will hold up is to properly solder the connections and then maybe insulate them with shrink wrap?  Electrical tape is a band-aid solution in almost any application.

The original wasn't all tape , it was just a black plastic wrap held on by tape at either end.

The original harness tape has no adhesive, as stated it is available from several sources.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.
