Tom,
It is a bit difficult to make a good wrap around an electrical connector
with the silicone tape but it will tolerate the temperatures under the
engine cowl. The high temp stability is 400 F with short term to 600 F. The
tape will bond with itself and will necessate cuttiing it from the connector
if you need to remove it later. I have successfully used it to wrap wire
bundles such as EGT leads and other leads under the cowl.

is there any other sort of tape or other insulator that is good to use in
its place? Particularly under the cowl, where it gets hot.
I am particularly interested in the Uniwrap silicone tape. They claim it
is weather resistant, has no adhesive (sticks to itself) and heat
resistant, though I can't find just how heat resistant it is. It may
have other uses too, such as restraining a wire from chafing, etc. Looks
like interesting stuff.
