I think to say that "most" welding cable sheathing isn't oil and chemical resistant is a gross overstatement. Most welding cable sheathing is very oil and chemical resistant since it is generally a neoprene/nitrile material.

I put Auto Zone Duralast Gold on my 69 GTO and have no starting problems. They are 2 gauge and really cheap. That's with a Robbmc starter. The car has AC and in the summer it gets real hot but I have no problems with starting it. Fires right up every time.
They make them for 2nd gen firebirds. Cheap and easy.

The GOOD cable material is also very "Abrasive Resistant" as the cables are constantly being dragged over concrete, rocks, steel beams, etc in a normal welders day of work.

A typical starter cable is purchased, mounted, and forgotten, except for cleaning of the corrosion on the cable ends.
