Hmmm. Funny you bring that up!

The one smaller ground wire had noticeable melting going on.   I believe it happened that day as well

That's a common issue, mine didn't look too good either when I pulled them a few weeks ago.  Run a temporary 10 or 12 awg wire from the small terminal on the starter relay to the small post on the starter and try again.  If it starts then make it permanent.  They sell high temp insulation for wiring close to headers and such.  Put that stuff on each wire and then cover both in a bigger sleeve.  Take it up as high as the inner fender bracket at least to be safe.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
