Default electrical tape to re-wrap wiring harness............

Anyone know what brand/type of tape I should use to re-wrap my entire wiring harness?

Its all intact and in good condition....but my engine is out and I have the chance to re-wrap it all. Its 14+ years old......

Thought it would be good preventative maintenance.

I re-taped mine and used 3M Super 88, Home Depot has it.

I thought it had a wiring loom stock . . .

I'd wrap it in tape then a good quality wiring loom.

Thanks guys.....I'll do that 3M tape.....and loom it where I can. I have all sizes and lengths of loom from my stepfathers company, they use it every day on wiring in the plant on the machines.

only problem i have with the vinyl or pvc tape is the adhesive weeps and it gets gooey from heat. i plan on re-taping some interior wires since i have mine gutted to do sound deadening and was going to use black friction tape that i use on hockey sticks. you can get it at sports shops, dicks', models.
