Where to find heat resistant electrical tape?
I'm in the process of replacing all my heater hoses. There is a part of a wiring harness that runs parallel to the hard metal line that connects the two passenger side heater hoses. For mysterious reasons, this part of the harness was actually strapped to the heater hard line in the middle at the factory, meaning it is in contact with this fairly hot pipe. On my car, the years of heat have caused the old electrical tape to ooze all sorts of gooey white adhesive and it is even running down the subframe. I'd like to clean this up and replace the melty tape with something that won't do the same thing.
I'd prefer a suggestion for something I could find at a Home Depot or Advance Auto kinda place rather than something I have to special order and wait a week for because I'm hoping to finish this project Friday afternoon so I can drive the car on the weekend. Thanks!

I have a friend who installed car audio professionally, and he used electrical tape a lot obviously. He always recommended to me any electrical tape by 3M (and I think Scotch is a 3M brand). I have since started using 3M tape and I have to agree that it retains its shape and its stickyness pretty well even under hot conditions. I have used it in spots on my harness.

Get silicone self fusing tape.
Thats the only electrical tape I'll ever put on a wire in my car. Simply can't be beat.
www.waytekwire.com has a variety of colours.

No problem. After reading the various responses to my inquiry, I decided to just use the 3M tape I had on hand to get me back on the road right away. I'll probably end up ordering some of this self-fusing silicone tape and rewrapping the harness later, so in the end, I'll be mail ordering something and waiting for it to arrive anyway...
