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'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!
