Question:

Electrical tape on distributor wires?

Can you put electrical tape over wires that lost parts of the rubber covering them, that connect to the distributor??? or will the tape melt or something?

Answer:

No. The tape is not enough insulation for the voltage to your spark plugs. Spark could ground out to engine thru the tape and cause a miss.
sure you can, i did it several times until i got the money for some new ones.
No not good will not seal it. Go to even a junk yard or car and get one or get a new set.
A set of new wires can be had for pocket change, pal. Tape wont do the job. P.S. YES. You need the boots to keep moisture from causing shorts and corroding the connections.
no/moisture will cause shorting
