If you get in a real bind, you might try "liquid tape." I think you can buy it at Radio Shack. It's a black goop in a fast-drying solvent (MEK, I think, which is flammable).

After carefully separating the wires, you paint on the goop and let it dry. It leaves a hard, flexible coating on the surface which acts as insulation.

My '86 245 has a degrading engine harness near the big gray plug. I painted on this crap around '96, or so, and it's still working fine. As I recall, I used 3-4 coatings of the goop to get a heavy, resilient insulation coating on the bare wires.

You might be able to salvage your existing distributor this way.
