Mary,
I have no favorite for the battery, so you're on your own there.
As to the pigtail, I'd recommend that you change the one on the van to a
Bargman-style 7-prong connector, the kind with the flat pins. The A/S
may have that style on it already, or it may have a different type. My
'68 had the flat-pin job, but my buddy's '86 has the round pin type.
But, the modern "standard" seems to be the 7-pin flat style, so you
might as well update it now.
The usual caveats about getting the wheel bearings checked/packed and
brakes checked out before travelling apply, of course.
