  1. I usually always use CA glue unless the job calls for epoxy.

    It sounds like your concern is more about damaging paint on parts you've already painted. 99% of the time some touch-up painting is required to cover glue bonds between two parts so scraping painted parts, if necessary, before joining them isn't a concern if done carefully. Once joined, touch it up with a fine sable hair brush and try to blend the brushed finish with the already painted finish.

  2. Depending on how narrow the distributor cap is you may not be able to drill individual holes. For that situation I hollow out the whole cap, glue all the wires in at once with CA glue, then I fill any gaps between the wires and the cap with 5-minute epoxy. Once that has cured I paint over the hardened epoxy along with the rest of the distributor cap and it all blends in smoothly.
