Eric,
As far as the battery goes..
Just run down to Costco, and pick one up. They are made by the same company
that
makes the Sears die-hard (johnson controls), better warrently, and are about
1/2
the price.
Take off the valve cover, and take a look at the valves, if they are still nice
and oily, chances are they will probably be OK. You should be able to pick up a
'remote' starter switch at any of our local autoparts stores.
Good luck,
