I replaced my starter with a used one. The pigtail is a copper braid-- mine showed signs of corrosion and also of having been very hot (arcing), consistent with increased resistance. I only had one instance of the car not cranking, which I thought was related to the battery discharging. I put a charger on it and it started up fine later.

I'm finding that after 15 years there are plenty of cabling/grounding gremlins showing up on this car (the two ground straps at the back of the motor were shot, the battery + to starter was cooked, and then this ground pigtail...

Good luck!
